ok fellas i have a chance to purchase a 2002 rcsb with 4.8/5pd combo for really low. well since its tax time i think this would be a good truck to build considering ill love to put my cc back to stock height and stock tune/motor. and so on.

anyway i do have a lq4 AND 80e i will be doing work to soon enough and would love to put it in the rcsb but before i look more into getting the rcsb how hard would it be to convert from manual to auto trans. i really dont like shifting being that i part time drive for ups and have to drive a 5spd. and harness/wiring would have to me bought or modded to make this happen. thanks for any help given.

 

Junkyard auto harness repined for 80e, steering column, shift cable, modded crossmember, segment swap, driveshaft and a solid 3 day weekend of turning wrenches.

 

i have a lead on steering column i have crossmember and summitracing has the shift cable. would the driveshaft of the 5spd or with the 80e yoke or is the length diff. also could i get a 80e harness or just find 60e and repinn?

 

It would be just as easy to put in a whole 80e harness if you can find one. I really don't know on the driveshaft on a 5 speed. My 99 driveshaft went from a 60e to a t-56 and then to an 80e with just a yoke change.

 

Ok I may have a line on reg. cab drive shaft also. but looks like this build may happen for me
