Bought another one. Time to start planning it out. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just got back in from buying a 68 short fleetside. It's a pretty rough example, but since my 72 long fleet got totaled, I have most of the parts. And it was CHEAP. The thing I'm unsure of is what to do with the tranny. It's factory 3 speed and mine is a th400. Should I bite the bullet and start scrounging 4 speed parts, or just go with the auto? What would you guys recommend behind a 400+ hp 402? Go with a Munice, or maybe one of the later model 5 speeds?
