Another Transmission Question

OK - so I have a 1986 F350 that has a 12' dump bed on it. Love the truck but I have a problem. I am a 3-4 months out from a total knee replacement. Naturally, it's my LEFT knee, so operating the clutch is becoming a BIT of a problem (has for some time). Is there any auto trans that will go into the truck and still be able to run the bed and handle the 460? Or do I need a different truck?

C6 will fill the bill no problem.

I've never seen a C6 with a built-in PTO, I'd guess he'd need to go with an aftermarket custom configuration for that.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering - thr PTO, and if a C6 would handle the load. I have a few steep hills I need to pull......

HAHA.


I was thinking transmission only.
You could get a C6 with a transfer case.

It will handle the load but needs extra cooling.
