The vehicles command a premium because they're unique and collectors value them. The automatic transmission is a TH350. There are lots of threads on the board about installing a 700R4, but I'm planning on a 4L80E in mine. "Darty" is relative; mine drives pretty decent.

As far towing, you have to remember that this is a 1/2 ton truck with a very short wheelbase. The heaviest load I've towed with mine was a flatbed trailer with a 79 Camaro, and that got pretty squirrely on the freeway when it started to rain.
