Well, then it would probably be a lot easier and cheaper to go with a conversion to a manual transmission that actually came in that year of pickup. Should be lots of junkyard factory parts to be found. Hardest part will probably be setting up a clutch pedal and linkage since your pickup doesn't have any of that (assuming you have the TH350 now ?).
