I would like to know more about the transmission options for my up and coming Cummins diesel conversion. I think others might benefit from it as well.
My specific application is going to be in a 1968 D300 dually, converted to 4x4 with 76 W300 drive train. The motor I am liking the most is a 1993 from a local seller. Can I use the auto trans and transfer case that would come with the 76 drive train?
4x4 is my focus but what transmissions work for both?
Many of you have vast experience with specific types, please talk about what you have learned.
Adapter plates and bell housings, what types are there and where do they come from?
Transfer cases, computers, linkages anything relating to transmissions would be good to know.
Links are a great help too.
Here is some basic info to get things started-

I have no idea what is missing from the above list.
