Yeah sure does and do i still need a bellhousing adapter and i found out the truck is an 89 not a 90 so does that change anything?

nope, the adapter plates are the same for those years.
'89-'90s are the same set up.

Alrighty that makes it even better!

Yours already has the holes so it will just be a matter of changing parts. easy peasy.

Well almost got the tranny out of the donor truck today but somethings hung up and i cant figure it out. All bell housing bolts are out, all the linkage is off and the crossmembers out but the thing wont budge! Am i missing something? Any help would be awesome!

You mean the Auto or the stick?

If you are sure you have all the bolts, try gently wiggling the tail stock to see if there is any movement at all, if none, go back over the pattern yet again. If there is some, it could be just hung on the dowel pins, they will corrode on sometimes. Keep gently wiggling back and forth and it should loosen.

Do you have it on a good trans jack? That puppy is pretty heavy and if it comes loose all of the sudden, it can be a handful to control.

Ended just being some corrosion, and i meant the standard tranny by the way, now my next question is about the arm that the slave cylinder hits to disengage the clutch. Its bent and i need a new one but im not sure what its actually called any ideas?

They are tough to find. try dodge wrecking yards. that's how I found one.
try Val (Simplysimon) he may know or maybe Mark Nixon.

Get them new from Phoenix Friction.........

$ 66.89, for the opportunity to not have to pull the trans again, I would go new.

Thats not what it looks like, thank you though very much appreciated. I will take a picture of it later so you can see it.
