Let me know and I'll move it over.

I've moved the thread to the Truck Part Wanted forum with a little tweak of your title to help folks see and know what you seek. Best of luck in your search.

written and edited on the 10th not the 9th? There's a company that specializes in shipping engines and transmissions. I've used them in the past and thought a couple hundred bucks to ship a 1000 lb engine and tranny combo from Plymouth , Michigan to Atlanta, Ga was pretty reasonable. I'll try to locate the contact information if you want. Parts for antique automatics can usually be sourced from Fatsco , Northwest Transmission or Dave Edwards at .

If you go LCF then even the front sheet metal (upper & lower grille panels and grille bar) are different to accommodate the trans cooler which sits on front of the radiator. Mike B . | | |
