So I just picked up a '62 stepside short bed D100. I also have a 360/727 combo out of a '78 motorhome. As you may have suspected, I'd like to put the 360 and 727 in the truck. Is this an easy swap? What issues may I run into? Thanks, Dave

It is a slant six 4 speed truck right now. I still have the RV that is the donor for the engine and tranny.
Should I cut the frame of the RV to get the mount brackets? What should I keep before the scrap man comes?
Is the 62 park brake on the output of the tranny?
I don't know if the frame cross member from that RV will
work. You'll have to take some measurements. I'd keep the
whole RV if possible until the 360/727 is in the truck and
running..... No telling what the RV might be able to donate.
If your '62 tranny is original, it is likely an NP420 with
the e-brake drum affixed to the output shaft.
