Still have my '71 Chevy K-10 (1/2 ton) 4x4 P/U with Utility Bed which has the chained tailgate (but it's only a 1/2 tailgate). Truck originally had an automatic transmission; but bellhousing cracked, so i removed it and installed a 4-speed Stick & Transfer Case from a '73 Blazer that had rolled. Original 1-piece large-tube driveline wouldn't work, so I fabricated a new crossmember & carrier-bearing, & then fabricated & balanced a new 2-piece driveline. Upgraded the springs & axles from 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton. Truck still has the original "behind-the-seat" 20 gallon gas tank, but I added a 40 gallon tank in the front of the bed.
Conversion from Automatic to Standard trans. was simplified because '71 was the "last year" that they had the 17 bolt removable Hump with "knockouts"; Clutch Pedal hangars; etc., so you could switch back & forth from Automatic to Standard and vice versa.
