I followed the directions on the HAMB link adapting a T5 to the torque tube, it was a lot of work finding the 2 transmissions first, then I had to find a new transmission case as the one I was planning to use was damaged. I did find a NOS case on Ebay that worked. It was my first time taking on a manual transmission rebuild but crossing my fingers I put all the pieces in correctly.

I am going to update this thread. Progress has been made. 2020 was a year of working on the frame, fitting the motor, trans and torque tube.

Started the cab, mounting to the frame and rust repair. A new floor was installed getting rid of all the rusted metal. Repair of the bulkhead, lots of welding and grinding.

Great progress James. That frame looks like it belongs in a race car. Did you get the floor from another truck?
