85 c10--700R4 to TH350 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My trans went out last night but I can get a th350 from a friend. Besides the driveshaft, and needing a vacuum modulator line and moving the trans crossmembers what else will I need to do? Is the shift linkage the same? I know my indicator won't be correct but it isn't now anyways. Also, this is a short bed and trans is short shaft th350. I know a early chevelle driveshaft fits because I used one years ago but what else fits? Need to get this fixed to make it to work on monday.

You'll also need the detent cable and dipstick with tube. Shift linkage will work.

Dipstick tube is still in the trans, not sure about kick down cable but can get one. Just trying to make sure I`m not forgetting something before I start pulling things apart.

My th350 is a short shaft so I will need a longer driveshaft

If it is a short tail TH350, your current TH700R4 driveshaft will be too short, by about 3 inches.

That's what I was figuring as well
