You are correct, the trucks came with a manual and had either a 5 speed or ZF6 - I have the flywheel (new) in hand now and will be talking to Centerforce more next week.

Once I have a clutch, I should be able to hook all the other stock style stuff to the Richmond Six that I have for the car.

The thing is, most ZF trans I have seen have the reverse diaphram which makes me think that (with a modified clutch disc for the ROD 6) won't work with the 69 Vette linkage (push vs. pull).

We'll see.
