hmmm...I thought the LUV's w/ manuals came with a hydraulic clutch. Is the linkage factory? As for the trans, you can make anything fit.

The 76 2wd I owned had a manual clutch. It's amazing how far you can adjust those things when you're too lazy to replace a pressure plate. *crunch* is the key word. :roll:

The earlier trucks had hydraulic clutches. I believe they went to the cable in 76.

Sorry, I can't help with the main topic. :(

Does anybody know if a 4-speed shifter will bolt up to the original hole?

The clutches went to cable in 78. 72 to 77 were hydraulic.
