Re: automatic in a 58 apache

Maybe just me. Part of my 2wd to 4wd thread using a 350TH with a np208. The transfer case does not make a difference in mine. In other words, I could not place the 350th in the truck with the rear engine xmember in place. I am not sure where their engine placement was to allow them not to cut. Mine is a 59 GMC so there may be frame differences and you may be ok.

OK, the link where the guy put a np203 in his 59 -- put engine, trans, and transfer case on a bare frame then set the cab on it. I do not know if he could remove the trans from the finished truck without removing the bellhousing cross member.

I removed mine - had to. The cab mounts still hold the frame at that point and I left the riveted sections in for original strength. It is now like my 67 in that area. Now it also has the trans/transfer case mount and crossmember.
