Manual to auto swap
Hey everyone, I'm swapping from a manual transmission to auto transmission in a 1972 C10 and am wondering about the brake pedal. From what I can tell on LMC the pedal size is the same between a manual and auto. I'm curious about the spacing between the gas and brake. Is it the same between the two? Also any other tid bits of info on the swap would be appreciated. Switching from 3 on the tree to a turbo 350(i have a turbo 350 on hand already). Putting an auto tilt column out of a van into it. No idea what i will need for linkages. Need a new transmission crossmember, the old one was on the manual bell housing. Not sure what crossmember will fit, one out of a squarebody maybe? There aren't any older c10s around me to get parts from

Re: Manual to auto swap
You can use the same pedal assembly. Just remove the clutch pedal.

Re: Manual to auto swap
OER makes a reproduction of the original automatic transmission. I have no personal experience with it.
