I am helping out an older retired friend restore his one owner 81. The current 4 speed shifts like stirring a bowl of chunky soup. Anyway something that shifts good in the 83-85 years that is 5 speed would be great.

I think I have a 5 speed in my 1980 parts truck. I'll check it out this afternoon and let you know Monday

OK it is in fact the 5 speed in an SR5 1980 2WD pickup. The truck was in a rollover years ago so I would assume the trans was working when it was wrecked.

I am located in Highwood MT. I would be willing to send it to you for $25 plus freight. I figure the $25 should cover packaging materials and you can just have the trans. If you are interested let me know via PM and I will try to get a shipping quote. Might be too much, I don't know.

the w55 might be too long a transmission and could require a different driveshaft...
All the L series transmissions were pretty short.

Yes the w is longer than the L but is a common upgrade if someone wants a transmission that is 200% stronger than the L
