    out of a '79 truck with a 20r. I've got a '75/20r with a 4 speed. Anyone know if this will 'drop right in' as far as
    #1: clutch disc splines
    #2: drive shaft splines
    #3: come through my floor in the correct location
    #4: hyd. slave cylinger location/hoodup
    #5: drive shaft length
    #6: piolet (sp) shaft dia.
    It's being offered as 'leaks a bit & a bit noisy, but works fine' I can get it for $50. I'm interested in seeing if I like the gearing as far as how it handles 55/65 mph. I'd guess it's ok for the flat, maybe only down hill. I'm thinking this might be a fun project to see if I want to spend the $ on getting it rebuilt or getting another good running trans.

    Any and all input accepted, 'the sooner the better. thanks
