salvage for transmission
I plan to change my inline six powered 1970 C10 from a 3 on-the-tree to an automatic.
Last weekend I bought a donor truck which has a six and an automatic transmission. Oh, and it has power steering which I want also. I am going to flatbed the donor to my local garage and have them pull Engine, and accessories Transmission Transmission x-member Drive shaft Steering column Powering steering pump, brackets, and steering box. Do I need the pedal assembly? Anything else I need to salvage? After its all yanked the rest is going to scrap - so I have no second chances at it. Pic is a Hudson Teraplane truck. Isn't it cool? My truck looks like any other! thanks Mark |

Re: salvage for transmission
i would remove any part that you think you could use, or sell in the future to help fund your project...

Re: salvage for transmission
The automatic truck will probably have a radiator with built in transmission cooler. Get the radiator and cooling lines. The pedal assembly without the clutch pedal would also be needed. This will be almost out if you are pulling the steering column. Need to disconnect the Master Cylinder or booster to release the pedal assembly. Make sure you get the neutral switch with the column.
Brings up an interesting question: Is the wiring harness different on an Auto vs the stickshift for the neutral switch? Likewise for the reverse light switch.

Re: salvage for transmission
Don't forget the shift linkage, kickdown cable, throttle linkage and speedo cable.
