excellent link

 

I've always wondered why people cover up their plates in pictures. Anybody got an answer?

 

i guess its harder in Canada to find a 2wd 5 spd, down here they are everywhere in the junkyards. finding an auto or 4x4 is hard here.

 

Haha thanks. I was walking through my house looking for something to cover the license plate, and the clipboard was just laying around; so I grabbed it, and it worked out alright.

Yeah I had found this site before, but according to it I should be running with a 5 speed lol. That's why I had posted the questions, but it looks like I'm going to have to crawl under it to check out the axle code. Thanks for posting though.

It's more of a safety issue, because you never know who will be able to see the pictures (the entire internet), and how they can use even minimal information --> better to be safe then sorry.

 

Axle code should be on the driver's side door frame, no need to crawl under anything.

Hah, must be! All I can find are 4wd 5spds, only other 2wd truck I've come across was a 4spd. Only 2wd trannies I've come across are 4spd. Have yet to see an auto 2wd, but I have seen one or two for 4wd.

E: Just saw this link in a different thread, it might help you more accurately locate a transmission. http://www.drivetrain.com/parts_cata...ota_truck.html Go ahead and ignore the somewhat inaccurate info in my previous post on the subject.

Thank you all so much for the help, I actually went to the wrecking yard today (half price day at pick your part), and the only truck I could find with a 22R series engine, still had its transmission, but the people that got to it before me absolutely destroyed it -- I would have had to buy a whole other transmission just to fix it. In the meantime I'll be patient, one will show up sooner of later.

Thanks for this post, but I think I'm going to try and get one at the wrecking yard, one has to show up sooner or later,

Another thing I was thinking about today at the wrecking yard was putting the some Subaru Brat rear seats in the bed of my truck, but the space in between my cab and wheel well is too small to fit them. I'll keep looking for that as well.

E: typo

 

Man I had an 86 2x , blue too. I miss that truck, nothing like a beater.

 

Axle code will be on the firewall on a aluminum piece of metal. Your axle code is most likely a G662 which means you have the 8" rear end and not the 7.5" that most 2wd do. The 8" means you can use 4wd third members to bolt right in and it is stronger as well.
