to go to a automatic you need the transmission the correct length driveshaft and a way to shift the transmission. a different steerign column would be the way to go.

from NC!! Stop by The Welcome Mat and introduce yourself!!

Fordman is correct with what he has told you, but there is a little more to it than that.

Other things to consider would be flexplate (flywheel), rear crossmember, cooler and all of the linkages and such.

Some more information about your truck would be helpful, such as the engine, longbed or shortbed.

It's not a hard conversion to make, but it will take some time, and you want to make sure you have everything needed before your start (unless you want your truck to sit for a while).
