Would like to change my 4 speed stick to an automatic, because of disability. I can operate the gas pedal and brake but not the clutch. Is this possible on a C60 with a 292 six? Thank you

"possible" sure. One of the first questions is what do you do with your truck. Running empty is a lot different than loaded down and weighing in at 20,000 pounds. Are you running around town, or going down the freeway for long distances, and are you driving on fairly flat terrain, or pulling big hills?

I am not familiar with putting an auto in the larger trucks but I am sure someone else will chime in soon. They will be asking the questions above though.

Would be easy to put a TH400 in it. Find one out of motor home that has the driveshaft brake on the back.
