Manual to Auto linkages, etc - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am taking out my 4-speed and putting in a 700r4.

I need to remove my pedal set up with one from an auto, and get an auto steering column.

Are the 700r4's the same as the TH-350's as far as shifting goes?
Can I use the TH-350 linkages and steering column?

I don't know about the 700r4 linkage but the pedal from my clutch is still hanging there since I did my manual to th350 swap a year or two ago. I'm pretty sure the brake and gas are the same on both manual and auto.(I have a 700r4 in the shed waiting for a rebuild)

YOU'RE GONNA FEEL PRETTY DARN SILLY WHEN YOU LOOK UNDER YOUR DASH & SEE HOW EASY IT IS TO REMOVE YOUR CLUTCH PEDAL.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF REMOVING THE PEDAL RETURN SPRING,REMOVING A "C" CLIP & SLIDING THE HORIZONTAL SHAFT & CLUTCH PEDAL OUT. TAKES ABOUT 2 MINUTES.

I always figured it would be something easy like that. It has just been one of those things that you never get to.

However the look on peoples faces when they push the clutch is priceless. (Lots of people hop in at the boat ramp at tournaments and pull me out while I'm solo).

Thanks for the tip. Now I'll have to look.
