Joel, I urge you to get out of a hurry, you will make mistakes and end up costing more money. Slow down take your time, the right one will come to you if you keep looking.

I'd go look at it shake my head and start walking away, then offer him $50.00 less for the trouble.

Dirtybugger.

Probably time to start a new thread as "the same kind of transmission" actually means more then just "auto vs manual" when it comes to the C6. The C6 that sits behind a straight 6 will not sit behind an FE engine. So I guess I've got to hind a C6 that will fit my FE or possibly look into floor shifters or maybe there are other options I just don't know about yet.

John, I got the truck for a hundred less then I was willing to pay and he took my girl and myself out to dinner for the trouble. Seems I may have also made a friend. Overall, I am very happy with this truck even if the tranny is the wrong one. It is in beautiful shape, it almost seems a shame to take the parts off of it.
