There is also an additional cross member at the rear of the Hydra-Matic transmission (it bolts to the frame rails).

Be sure to obtain all the shift linkage (from the inside steering column to the transmission to the carburetor).

The torque-tube is shorter on a Hydra-Matic - you will need that.

If there is a starter button on the left front of the dash, get that, too.
