Just about done with a friends cummins to chevy conversion. Surprisingly easy, engine seemed like it was made to go in one of these trucks!

Only issue I’ve ran across is how to adapt the automatic shifter from the Chevy to work with the Chrysler 727 behind the cummins? We were going to swap it to a manual truck, but the owner decided to keep the automatic. What has been done to get the chevys shifter to work with the Chrysler’s shifter linkage on the transmission?
