Hi Jeff, I saw your correspondence on installing a automatic powerflite on a dodge truck. I just got a 56 with a flathead 6 and the reverse just went out on the manual 3 speed. I thought this might be a good time to convert it to an automatic. How would I identify which powerflight I need and are there aftermarket rebuilts available? It sounds like it would be much easier than a GM Turbo Hydromaster 350. I won't need an adapter for it? Will I need anything new? I was told I would need a new starter on the 350 (not sure why) and to make sure I had a vacuum intake port. The cross member would not have to be modified? Relocate the master cylinder? Any recommendations on companies to get the trans and parts from. I'm in but would have brought anywhere in So Cal or the Central Coast. I was referred to shop in Grover City..Troxell's.
