Auto Conversion

I am thinking maybe of converting my '67 W-200 crewcab to an automatic,and was wondering if all I need for a tranny is a short shaft 727 with the bolt on yoke. I have one out of a '74 Class A motorhome. I would think that a rear crossmember is needed with provision for the tranny mount. Anyone do this conversion? Any problems I need to lookout for? Thanks......

youll need the short shaft, and proably have to cut out the tranny mounts for the 4spd and hang the proper tranny mount for the auto.

I think Trey is right, on 69-71 the 727 just drops in but on the pre 69 trucks your mounts are in a different location closer to the front of the truck.
