I recently blew out my 3 spd auto on my 86 C-10, and Im wondering if it is possible to put a 4 spd into my truck, ive already called some guys at the salvage yard and they have 4 of them all 400's <img src="graemlins/crash.gif" border="0" alt="[crash]" />

im goin auto for the sake of shift consistency, im fairley new to tranny work so if anyone has any ideas, pictures, databases id be much obliged for the help]

EDIT: now lets say i go with a 4 spd auto, what fits, and will i have to get kickdown rods, manufacture things? Also, Im thinking of adding a tranny cooler, suggestions? Id LOVE to make it a street/low strip truck

I assume your talking about a two wheele drive.I got a reply from Paul Poirie that may help,its posted uder replacing 700r4 in f-body with th350 with 9"tail shaft.I dont know what you have for a 3speed but if its long shaft th350 the 700r4 4speed auto will work with your drive shaft,and you will need to get a different detent cable a buddy of mine made the same swap in his scottsdale with not much diffaculty.If it were me building a street\strip I would use a 3speed th350 or th400 they are tougher.
