I keep seeing threads about going from an auto to a manual, I'm actually looking to do the exact opposite. I currently have the 360 mated to the T176 transmission and an NP208 t-case in my 81 J10 Short bed. I know finding a donor vehicle would be ideal, but down here in Florida these trucks are nowhere to be found.
So Im looking for a list of parts to get me started:
- TH400 or maybe even the TH700R4 or any other auto trans that may work
- Transfer case (which one can I use and retain my existing drive shafts and axles - driver drop in front, AMC20 in the back)
- Steering Column from an auto
- Transmission tunnel cover
- ?
- ?
Even better would be to find someone that would want to meet up and swap transmission/transfer cases. Figured I would post here first while researching. I've already spent most of the day on Novak's site trying to figure things out.
Any and all guidance is greatly appreciated.
