I have a stock 71 K5 Bazer (that is pretty much all apart) with a 350, 4 barrel, 4 speed and AC. The truck is from out west. My kid is going to drive it mainly in the city and want an automatic. What would I need to do this? Is the transfer case different? Different mounts? It looks like the 350 came with a TH350 in 71. Are the drive shafts different lengths? I am ok with using an aftermarket floor shifter.
