Another tranny linkage question

So,I converted my 4sp truck to auto (Didnt want to put the granny 4spd behind my new motor) and got everything I needed but the tranny linkages...So,will auto tranny linkages from a late 70s 4wd work on my '71 4wd with little or no modifications or will I need auto tranny linkages from a 70-72 4wd that had a auto tranny?

Re: Another tranny linkage question

later model linkages totally different, can be made to `work` but look horrible..i would stick with our era of trucks.

Re: Another tranny linkage question

Ok...now I am set...The blazer,going to a 4spd was going to be robbed of the auto linkages for the 71 k10...It turned out to have a B&M shifter installed..I got under there today and guess what they left on? The metal rod from the column that goes down.I guess that is what I needed all along.Now I can use that with my 2wd linkages to work,correct? I must be having some good luck,what's the odds that piece I need is still on it even though they converted it..
I guess tomorrow I'll get the linkages all hooked up.Then install the brake lines and drive it

If it doesnt work I would get a locar cable convertion or you could use a universal one like this. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/1926...nkage-Kit.html
