Im putting a 5.0 out of a caprice in my sonoma- the truck has 212,000 on all the original stuff, but my diff. is going. So i have a caprice full car salvaged and i was thinking of just swaping the enging and diff. to the truck. There is one problem and that is i need a manual trans and i dont know what would work and i think the rear diff out of the caprice would look to wide on the truck. I could use some help finding a shop that could make me a "good" custom drive shaft and info on a what diff if not the caprice might be good.

Im going to rebuild the diff and keep my original trans now so that should eliminate most of my problems but i will still need a bell housing to make it bolt together. Any ideas where i could find one?

if it is a 4.3 v-6 i think it will bolt up check the converter nose that pilot's in the crank .
