My '71 came stock with a manual 3 speed trans, with a column shift (low hump cab). I've had both a TH400 and now a 700R4 in it. No modifications needed as far as the sheet metal was concerned. I did have acquire an auto trans crossmember, because with the 3 speed, the rear motor mounts attached to the bell housing...It was actually a relatively easy swap..
