mine is in process and close to complete

transmission I sourced failed but is under warranty

you will need; trans, bell housing, clutch master/slave, pedals, longer flywheel bolts, cross member with mount, lengthen drive line, ect

I got mine from viking truck salvage in redding ca I found them on parts.com I think

they also sent a steering wheel and column with the kit for some reason and a speedo for a manual that I did not use

you will need an old style transmission if you wish to use your speedo as the drive is on the tail housing (2wd), I think it is on transfer case with 4wd

I learned this the hard way and will have to replace the tail housing someday if I want a speedo or I may just use an hourmeter

I probably missed some stuff but that hits most of the high points
