OK...no LBC...just an LJC one.  I just bought a 78 Toyota pick   up...a 
dually no less.  My uncle bought it new in 78, converted the dually  four 
wheels in 
the rear to two 15" extra wide rear wheels.  He passed away  some time ago 
and my aunt just turned 89 and can't drive it any more, so I  bought it from 
her. 65K miles, still in pretty fair condition.  I'm giving  my F150 to my 
grandson for Christmas, so I need something to haul my stuff  in..
 
Anyway, apparently my aunt had a transmission problem a couple of years ago  
and the mechanic's fix was to remove the 5 speed and install a 4 speed.  It  
worked well for my aunt who just puttered around town, but it buzzed a bit when 
 I drove it home to El Paso.
 
Anyone know what years 5 speeds fit the 20R engine in this 78?  How  tough to 
change?  Require engine removal?  Are the transmissions as  rare as old 
Datsun 5 speends?
 
Regards,

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual  Skinners Union
carburetors in his vintage MG, highly functional yet  pleasingly formed, 
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching  for experienced 
hands, 
the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging  to be inspected and 
adjusted as described in chapter seven of the Haynes  shop manual.
