Swapping a manual trans for an automatic

Been going through the Forums haven't been able to find an actual list of parts that would be needed to swap from a manual transmission to a auto transmission in a 78 bronco, Keeping it a column shift. also looking for a basic step by step in what needs to be done and I guess if it's worth it. Thanks in advance

1) You need to find a donor automatic equipped vehicle.
2) Transfer all the parts to make yours an automatic.

Sorry this is about the only way to do it now. The other option is to find someone on here that wants to convert their auto to a standard. Then you can trade your standard to them.
