I had a truck 4 speed and went to a 200 4R. Used a auto column from a truck that had 3 speed auto. You will need an auto crossmember (you will have to remove your standard bellhousing mount crossmember, probably need a new starter that bolts to the block (if yours is a 3 bolt that bolts to the bell housing) a new flex plate, a radiator that has provisions for the trans cooler lines (or a separate aftermarket cooler), trans cooler lines ( the lines for a TH350 or 400 will work with a 200 4R if you go to an OD trans, you'll have to remove your clutch pedal and z bar, get the correct transmission yoke and shorten drive shaft if necessary, wire up the lock up converter (if you do an OD), possibly get a longer speedo cable and the correct speedometer driven gear, and get either an original auto linkage set up or an aftermarket rod with heim joints (I prefer) that costs about 30 bucks to connect the column to the transmission. If your back up light switch is on the 3 speed tranny, you'll have to hook up a combination neutral safety/backup light switch on the auto column.
