It's gone into a 65 GMC and they are plentiful and fairly inexpensive. I've attached a few photos of it during setup of my build. Good luck with your build.Attachment 4709

Did this use the exact same adapter plate that the Jeep transmission to GM bellhousing uses? That transmission is nearly the same thing as the ax15, however I thought that every variation of these transmissions have different length input shafts.

Knowing what you did for your swap will increase the odds of finding one of these transmissions quite a bit, as I did not realize the Chevy Colorado Truck Transmissions would be easily adaptable with off-the-shelf parts to our bellhousings. Most of the internals are the same or nearly identical to the ax15, but the tail shaft housing is different I believe. How many splines are the clutch and input shaft?
