72 F100... needing some advice

Recently bought a 1972 F100 390 4speed std Custom Sport

I'm wanting to make it auto, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what kind/type of tranny to use.
Any other suggestions are more than welcome.

Thanks
Amy

A C6 With the FE bell housing would be the easiest I think.

Amy, as posted the C6 is about the only choice that you have without spending big bucks on adapters. I did it to my truck.

Many of us purchase 73-76 donor trucks and get the C6, power disc brakes, & power steering all at the same time. Gets your truck a major upgrade all at once.
