I've owned/driven older Chev pickups that had the heavy duty 11" (12"?) clutch with the three finger style pressure plate. I have not driven anything with the later style diaphragm pressure plate. Any pickup I've owned over the past 20 years has had an auto tranny.

Been collecting parts to change my 71 FJ alt from driver side to pass side. The local auto electrical guru guy that I got my "new" alt from said he had a bellhousing for SBC to Toy tranny, but didn't know whether it fit the 3 or 4 sp tranny. Anybody know the dimensional differences between the...
