The old hydra-matic 0r old cast iron powerglide will fit up to the engine but they are crude heavy monsters. They have adapters to put a modern trans. in like a 350 or 700r4 Hydra-matic. I like the manual shift myself on the old trucks. If I wanted an auto. I would change over to a V-8 engine. Any modern trans. will fit it.
