I am sure this is a dumb question, but I have to ask. I have a lot of experience in Landcruisers, but none in mini trucks. I am looking for a clean rust free minitruck with a 22R. I want AC, PS, (which is an easy add), and a 5 speed, and I see a number with 4 speed.

Will the 5 speed bolt right in? Are they easy to source. Cost?

Sorry--searched and didn't find specific answers.

 

Are you talking a 4x4 or 2wd??

Yes it should bolt up .

You might need to modify your crossmember and driveshaft if 2wd

4x4 is a little different.

Been quite a while since I have worked on one that old so I could be completely wrong.

 

Sorry---

Definitely a 4WD

 

You have to use a L50 or L52 for it to be bolt-on to the crossmember (because they are the same length as the 4-speed) later transmissions like the g series or w series will bolt to the motor but they are longer so you will need to modify your crossmember and the length of the driveshafts. you can use google to do a good search, there are hundreds of topics on this subject, a lot of good info on marlin crawler's site, he is a toyota transmission guru.

 

And what years would the L50 or L52 be out of

 

I found my answer--Need to spend more time searching.

Thanks for the input.
