good news!!! looky what i found 30 miles from my house.. 400$

the 93 d-150 5 speed with a v-6/v-8 bell housing.

this looks real close to the a535 and looks to have replaced it in 92-93 in the d-100/d-150 2x trucks.

looks like the top plate shifter tower change some,looks close on the main case,has the same xmember i just got from the u-pull for the a535 trans

basket case, does this look like what you had or was it indeed a535?

looks like this might fix my shifter problem,I will some sheet metal to make a shifter box/tunnel modifacation as need.

so,looks like take the a535 back for a refund and save 400 bux and pick this one up for the 400 and a short drive.
