Being that I am NOT a mechanic, can I use a transmission from an '80's Camaro or something like that ? What is a good suggestion for a good, solid, used, inexpensive 4 or 5 speed auto transmission for a 1970 C-10 ?
Thanks,

PS- I'm new here as of June 2011.
When it comes to putting an overdrive transmission into an older truck like these, there's going to be some fabrication work. IMO a 700r4 is a good easy swap. It would give you an overdrive without a lot of electronics and is a fairly easy swap.
