What Transmission do I have?

I bought a TH400 from my buddy who has a truck recycling gig here. He said he drove the truck prior to parting it out, checked out.

I noticed when looking at it, that it had a 6 bolt TC. I noticed that all the Flex plates I worked with have 6 mounting holes, but only ever used 3.

Any clue on what this came out of? Are there better features than a standard TH400?

TIA

What transmission do I need?

Hello,

I’m waiting on a transmission to be rebuilt, but can no longer wait as the place I’m storing it needs it moved. I don’t have the transmission and the guy rebuilding it won’t contact me. The guy probably stole it. Either way, I need to figure out how to know what th350 I need. Are there different versions? I have the two piece driveshaft and it is a 2wd long bed with a 305 engine. How do I tell?

Thank you

Haynes/Chilton help? TORQUE SPECS 87 R10 SUSPENSION/BRAKES

As some of you may have seen on my other older thread about going and getting my baby.... well, its going down. Details coming together. It's a no tow ALL 700 MI all the way back ride.

So I'm gonna pull the front end in GA. I have multiple Haynes/Chiltons on our trucks, but they are IN GA.... IN THE TRUCK . So i can't refer to much and i didnt grab anything available on IA as those of you who know, they recently were pretty much stripped of everything not independent or already paid for.

I am replacing and need torque specs for things not listed in the .PDFs available here. I've had those for years and have pulled some of the stuff already. Even if i have some of the specs, i would rather someone who has the actual book who can say for sure

Doing
• Upper/Lower ball joints
• Inner/Outer tie rod ends
• Tie Rod Adjusting sleeves
• Idler arm
• Polyurethane control arm bushings
• Pitman arm
• Steering gear
• Front shocks

Also working on some of the brake system. Installing calipers and new brake hoses. If you happen to run across those, I'd appreciate it.

Y'all.... I'm excited. Scared. Trying not to catastrophize. Already learned a lot refreshing reading manuals for everything I've bought(It's all in GA w/my baby) like I have to drill a hole apparently in the frame with the rear sway bar. And I have to drill out with a 5/8" bit on the Belltech front sway bar to accomodate the links. So its been a long time accruing diagrams and videos. Been watching old Brothers episodes and taking me back. Watched the control arm bushing episode several times. DOES NOT LOOK FUN any way you cut it.

Thank you for any help you can give.
