A friend of mine has a 28 pickup, which he bought in baskets. It had a AA transmission, however the seller kept it as part l
of the deal.

Can a car transmission and bell housing be used without any modifications?

If not, what are up against?

Yes, a car transmission is the same as was used in a pickup.

Rusty--Thank you very much. I was hoping that was the answer.

Thank You; Brian

You will need a Car style 3 speed bell housing as the AA four speed has a different bell housing.

Awesome. Thank you.

Actually the seller did you a favor by keeping the AA tranny. It only gives you a super low granny gear, and adds a lot of weight to the pickup.

Tom - that's very good news. Thank you for that.

Thank you; Brian
