What automatic transmission would a 70's Chevy automatic truck have?

I know this is a vague question, but thats all the info I have right now. Its a 70's model Chevy truck automatic with a 350 in it.|||If I had to guess I would say the 350T trans. That's what GM used in most of their V8s during that period.|||350 turbo or 400 turbo there is a tag on it that will tell you|||Most likely a TH350 or possibly a TH400. If it is a very early 70's truck it could be a Powerglide, but they stooped making those after 1973. An easy way to tell a Powerglide, the shift selector will me marked P-R-N-D-L instead of P-R-N-D-2-L, Powerglides are only two speed trannys.





Edit: here is a chart that shows different Chevrolet trans pan gaskets for identification purposes. http://media.photobucket.com/image/ident鈥?/a>|||One easy way to tell - look at the pan - if it is square with one end at a little angle , it is a Turbo 350 . If it looks kinda like a funky state of texas , it is a Turbo 400 . Now if you need to get another one , you will need that info plus the length of the tailshaft - they had 3 different lengths .|||most likely TH400





I am not sure about the long/short shaft.|||more than likely it has a turbo 350 tranny but some trucks used the turbo 400 tranny, either way both tranny's will work in your camaro, the turbo 400 is a better, heavier duty tranny.
