Thanks for the info. 72addict. Looks like if I go the hydramatic route I will need to find a cross member as well; however I am trying to go back as original as possible and I think my crossmember is rivetted in (have to check to be certain). If this is the case than the truck would have originally been a 3 or 4 speed manual. If that is what it looks like than I will most likely go the manual trans route.
