[robertspangler]

Well first of all I would like to say hello, Im Robert from Ohio and I just purchased my first 73-87 chevy truck, I bought a 1978 chevy k10 stepside shortbed 4x4. Well my question is this, In it right now there is a 3 speed manual transmission, it had 3 on the colum but the p/o moved it from the column to the floor. I know this transmission is the least liked that they put in to this truck, plus i would rather have a 4 speed manual or an automatic transmission, so if i were to get like a th350 or somthign similar would it just bolt up to the transfer case and all of the drive shafts still work or would i have to get different shafts, also if anybody woudl recoment a better tranny it would be appreciated.
