UPDATE:
The free SM465 and NP205 are not going in my truck. I went to pull these pieces out of a driver and I'm glad I checked things out before going through the trouble. Front output on the t-case sounds really bad. I pulled the drain plug and out comes metal. DAMN! So I went ahead and pulled the drain plug on the 4spd as well. Yep, small metalic flakes in the fluid. Well, I don't have the time or funds to mess with rebuilding these so I'm back at searching for parts again.

I've located a couple TH350/NP205 setups and now I need some info from you experts out there.

Can I easily modify my crossmember to work with an auto or am I going to need an auto crossmember? Anyone have one resonable? Also, if I do go with an auto setup, who has an auto non tilt column for sale and how much? What about linkage from the column to the trans? Any other brackets or frame pieces that I'm going to need? I'll throw on a large tranny cooler for now, replace the radiator later. Am I forgeting anything?

Thanks in advance for the help.............
