Trans 74 dj5d tranny question
Hello, I am a new member and was reading a thread from 2017 where a member apparently had the same problem I have. I have a '74 dj5d, 232, I think, maybe a 258 since the starter is on the right, with a tired m11 tranny. I read that it could probably be swapped for a 727 unit for an easy bolt up! My question is this. My m11 has the shortest tailshaft I've ever seen, and all the 727's seem to be quite a bit longer! So, is there a particular car model or truck model I should be sourcing this from and specific year? I was just gonna have my m11 rebult, but it looks like it already was by the amount of rtv outside (and inside) that I found. I'm guessing a Chimps been into this thing, and it is probably damaged ! Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.
