it might be a long stretch but it is a good deal. i was wondering if a 1975 manual trans would fit in my 1999 dodge 1500? if so what would it take to do the swap?

 

Use the search function. You'll find about 25 topics were people say they are doing this. And 3 that actually happen.

 

do you know if they did it with that old of a trans?

 

Most people that do the swap use a modern 5 or 6 speed transmission because it doesn't compute to take a overdrive type tranny (auto or manual) and swap it for a none overdrive type tranny. This is like swapping your fuel injection out and putting a carburetor on your engine.

Also if you're going to get any help you need to supply more information. Is your truck 4x2 or 4x4? Is the tranny you're trying to use from a 4x2 or 4x4 vehicle? This all makes a HUGE impact on it. And this will not be an easy swap.
