If you have a 4 speed now, when you convert it to auto you will have to get rid of the crossmember that the bellhousing sits on now and get an auto tranny crossmember. If you have auto then you will just have to move your crossmember some. I'm not sure on what is needed if you currently have 3 OTT. If your going to the trouble of a tranny swap I would suggest going for the OD, either 700r4 or 200r4. The rear end you have now will be fine, no need to swap it unless you are wanting different ratio or something. Here is a thread that is going now that is similar to yours, you should look through it to see if it answers any other q's you might have. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=434031. Hope this helps get you started.
