The one it was attached to? I'd put an E4OD in it. You would have to source a cross member, and a drive shaft.

The C4, C6, AOD/E were available, or have the correct bell housing. I would go with the AOD/E after an E4OD for the mileage; choosing based on whether I use stock fuel injection or not. C6 for raw towing power. It won't win any races, or save at the pump.

Do you want overdrive? How about electronic control or do you want to avoid wiring?

That adds a whole lot more question.

2WD or 4WD?

Obviously an engine swap, but carbureted or EFI? Lots more goes into a choice that includes an electronically controlled transmission.

Is this a working truck? If so, weight class? Are you hauling loads/trailers, or just cruising around town. Last 2 posts ask a lot of good questions.

Your choices include C4, C6, FMX, AOD, AODE/4R70W, E4OD.

it is a 3/4 ton with a 300 straight six it is in a 67. the previous owner took the original motor out and i am not sure what it was but he put the 300 straight out of a 91 in the truck and transferred the carb set up to the engine. it had a 4 spd manual trans in it but the tranny died so they took the tranny out and never put anything back in and parked it for a few years. then gave it to me. i put a 5 spd manual in to get it moving. it is missing some bell housing bolts. it will be used for hauling loads . the clutch linkage is kinda micky mouse and it needs a new radiator , the old one is half jb weld and it overheats after a few minutes it also needs an external fuel pump, but it was free yea. it will be a wood hauling truck slow and steady.
