well for the little vans the tranny was very stubby, and had a strange arm that went upwards through which a bolt and bushing went through it to mount it to the frame. It kind of hangs by it.But it is still a 727 not a 904. Some guys resort to the more standar torqueflite but you have to do some pretty major wizardry to cross member it. If the guy hadn't had the correct tranny with the van ,I might have passed on it.NealOn Thu, Sep 7, 2023 at 6:06 PM 62-65-mail-list-club-Gary-H <62-65-mail-list-club@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Congratulations Neal on your new A-100.
My memory is that a "LoadFlite" transmission is just the name Dodge gave a TorqueFlite when the transmissions were installed in Dodge trucks.
If that memory is correct then the LoadFlite should look like a 727 TorqueFlite. What looks different?
Thanks,
