And I absolutely love watching your videos, However, when I watched Billys video, and Tommy was all shook up, I thought oh my word! This is what happens when they don't have their dad with them. We know you would NEVER let Tommy go without him being ready! I'm praying they stay safe, you've done an amazing job raising them, they wouldn't know anything about cars if it weren't for you being an awesome dad and showing them everything they know. But one thing they don't have is your years of experience, I'm praying they learn it through the years and not in a scary bad way racing.

He wants the 4L80E so he can tow with the truck. 700r4 and 4L60s are notorious for being problematic. They've even had their run at using a 700r4 in Billy's truck in the earlier years. Didn't turn out well lol.

Me and my wife build a 1966 C10 stepside with a 454 and a muncie four-speed. The six cylinder motor mounts are back farther than the V8 and they make a nice crossmember on eBay, that you can eliminate the bell housing transmission mounts with.

I kept the 3 speed and all bolted in the original position. I had to change the radiator hoses, throttle linkage rod,, and exhaust. I even used the 6cyl flywheel and clutch.

I really miss those days! I'm now 68 years old, been retired 6+.yrs. 2) Seeing you on that tractor moving snow brought me back to two years I did that on a farm style tractor with No Cab! it was a bit much. 3) You could've let us hear more of the engine(s) on your rc trucks! 😄Good Luck in all your endeavors...

[@builditinyourgarage7826]

Great Post! On converting the steering column, you can either just modify the shifter linkage you have, or buy a CPP shifter linkage kit, however the real issue is below: The 3 speed column has enough movement/throw to shift a turbo 350/400 but the gear detents is the real issue. It can easily get bumped to get out of gear, easily moved from drive to reverse etc. I do believe they make a detent kit to convert one however I have never used one of these. Also there will be no gear indicator on the column as well. I have done this on a truck or two that I have personally drove but if my wife/kids would drive it, I would probably say put a 60-72 automatic column in it. Should be able to find a non-tilt pretty easy.

I had a 63 Chevrolet longbed with a 292 and 3 speed. Pulled it and put a 350/turbo 350 from a Monte Carlo in it. Made a linkage from a solid steel rod to use the three speed shift linkage on the turbo 350. If I remember right just got the rod from Home Depot and bent it in the garage with a vice to work. Lasted the two years I had it, and last I heard it was still working.

[@bryangeorge9461]

In Minnesota we call 4" of snow a nuisance snow. :)

[@coreylandry2440]

You can tie the linkage together or tack them together and it will work with the automatic. The dash light problem seems to be a power issue. The dome light works on the switch so it it may be the spring on the switch that dims and brightens the lights. Just a few things I've ran into with mine to check out.

[@Red81Camaro]

I have a 52 Studebaker pickup that was converted to a Ford 351W with a C6. The column shifter was hooked up and working on the C6 but it did not have any detents except inside the trans, and also did not have the ability to hook up a neutral safety switch or reverse lights. I found it easier and safer to install a Lokar type floor shifter. Good luck with Miss Vicki's truck.
