datzenmike Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 The '68 and up J13 powered 520 4 speed has the same tailstock as the 510 4 speed. The earlier '65-67 was different in some way but I'm not sure what. The driveshafts were the same for all J13 4 speeds so that's the same. Might be worth getting a 510 4 speed and try swapping the tailstock. Well..... if you can't find another 520 4 speed that is...... Quote Link to comment
