AOD in 72
Has anyboby done this one. I have the tranny in place bolted to the engine. My problem- the shifting linkage. I am using colum from 73 automatic. It looks like things could work but aren't. also my cab mounts are out, is this the problem or part of it?

Robert, I believe the AOD has the same shift pattern as the C4 & C6, so the problem has to be somewhere else.

I am planning on doing the same swap. I actually saw a really nice setup at the nationals for shift linkage I plan to use. It is made by Lokar. It mounts right to the trany and looks like a manual floor shift on the interior. The kit runs around 200.00 but I think it will be well worth it for its simplicity. Check it out at

The tranny was just rebuilt by myself, and the shift lever on the tranny moves freely. The shift lever off of the colum works find when nothing is hooked up to it. As soon as I hook up the rod to the tranny I have problems.

I believe there's supposed to be a bellcrank set-up on there. The lingage goes from the column to the bellcrank and then another piece of linkage from the bellcrank to the trans, at least thats what my AOD had before I put a floor shifter in it.
Good Luck !!

sorry............it's long gone.
You should be able to find these pieces in the bone yard, and they probably will have to be modified to fit this truck, as an AOD didn't come along till much later.
Good Luck
