Auto transmission

Looking to replace 4 speed out of my 75 with an automatic, has 390 in it, what transmission should I look for and what years. Friend has a c6 with 205 transfer, not sure what year and believes it was mounted to a 351.

351 trans won't hook up to a 390. You need a trans from an FE motor.

73 through 76 would be your best bet. Any particular reasons you are switching? Pm if you're interested in selling it.

With divorced tc you have a little leway with what you can do. however you will have to find a c6 with the FE bellhousing, the c6 is cast so there isn't any way to just swap them. you can use a c6 out a 2wd and just shorten the drive shaft but it would just be better to use the 4x4 version out of a highboy so that you can still hook up the tcase shifter.

c6 came out with the fe in 65 but not sure on the 65-72 4x4 set up, I'm sure some others will chime in.

Thanks, at least I have a starting point, think I would rather stay with one out of 4x4, than to have to do a lot of swapping to make work.

Believe me, you will appreciate in the long run. Threw my t-18 in mine cause I just needed the truck to be working, now just looking for the original setup as it will be way easier.
