What do I need to switch over to an auto trans?
I want to swap my manual trans to an auto. I have the column, cross member and trans. Do i need anything else? Will the backup/neutral safty switch on my comumn plug up and work?
Have any of you guys done this swap? |

You'll need the linkages,and the bracket that mounts in the area around the front cab mount for the linkages...

If the tranny is something other that a short tail Turbo 350, you may need a front yoke and have the driveshaft modified.

If your radiator doesn't have the ports for the trans cooler, then you can just get a ad on cooler (which is prolly better anyway)

Re: What do I need to switch over to an auto trans?
I want to change a c/10 to auto.
I have the shift linkage & tilt auto column, I also have the brackets on a 3/4 ton frame..(the brackets that are near the cab mounts) I have a 400 trans and Maybe a 350 but i'm not sure if the 350 is good. I don't think I have the trans lines or radiator....I wasn't thinking about those. I also have a auto crossmember from the 3/4 ton If i get the radiator and lines does it sound like the parts that I have will work? Will the 3/4 ton crossmember work?
