Default Re: Was automatic transmission offered in our trucks?

I converted to a 700R4 years ago, my truck used to have a 4 speed manual transmission. I just slide the transmission as far back as I could before it hit the firewall/undercarriage, left clearance, then bolted the transmission cross member into the new location and made sure the new drive line was the correct length. I do have a 350 Chivy motor in it, if that makes a difference. However, i am happy to report I have procured a nicely running 305E that I plan to put in the truck and get rid of the 350.
