what about the steering column..for the 700r4 you need the over drive on the column there is an adapter-i think the name is lokar.com so you do not have to change your steering column if you do not want too

i watched a utube video.they changed out a 350 trans for a 700r4..and you do not have to change the column you will not be able to shift down in to one..no manual shifting..drive shaft has to be cut and rebalanced

I thought this was a worthy addition to this thread. Pics of Dave's recently purchased 4x4 Th350 trans with the very short output shaft.


Bought this today for $50. Here's the ID numbers on it C4E111485

Ok i got a guy that wants to do some trading for my dirt bike.. Hes got a 350 010 nickel block and a thrbo 400 trans thats short shaft he said he pulled it out of a 1 ton. I currently have a long tail turbo 350 in my 82 longbed. I know ill defiantly have to get a turbo 400 yoke swaped out on my drive shaft. Now my question is will i have to have the shaft shortened or lengthened. Im trying to round up a trans that will hold up to my 383 im building. I do plan on rebuilding the turbo 400..

One minor detail which doesn't matter in a th350 thread is that the th400 and the Muncie M22 (Rockcrusher) share the same yoke , but not the th350 and the M22 as was mentioned as being the same.

M20 and M21 - yes, same as a th350. I'm old but do remember that.

Very True. M22 is fine spline input shaft and finer splined 32 spline and thicker shaft. I'll see where I put that and make that correction.

How do you tell a regular 350 trans form a 350c?

And I'm assuming th 350c has a lockup converter and regular th350 doesn't?

Yes, you're right.

Th350 = No Lock Up (No Electrical Plug-in on the Driver side)

Th350C = Lock Up (With Electrical Plug-in on the Driver side usually harnessed to a Vacuum Switch on the Firewall)

If the trans in mounted in the truck, you can ID a Th350C from a Th350 by this connector. Sorry, bad pic, but in the grease, you can see the black connector on the driver side of the case.

Out of the truck, you can easily ID the Th350 from the Th350C. The Th350C input shaft looks more like a clutch alignment tool.
