Tmack Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yes sorry, That would be a stick, on the floor. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 So it would look like this, right? Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yes sorry, That would be a stick, on the floor. In this country everything except late 65 320s were column shift 4 speeds as far as I know. You might be able to use a J block 4 speed from a 520/521 if you get the adapter plate with the transmission, I think that is how it works, but I have been wrong before. If all else fails, you could always put a J block/tranny combo in your truck, you would need the complete J block motor mount assembly from the frame to the engine, it bolts and unbolts from the frame, it would be wise to also get the wiring harness and make the switch to an alt.

Tmack Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 That might work , as it sits I do not have the proper trans for it, I just got this truck it's a complete project. I do have a trans. that was bolted to th engine but it is about 2 inches longer then the original. Is the transmission in the picture available. Quote Link to comment

vindats1 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yep, this guy was very lucky as I had only one floor shifter tranny left. So glad that I could help another Datsun owner to get his truck going! Quote Link to comment
