Fit???...... More than likely.
Work????..... Not very easy if at all. The electronics would be a nightmare at this point. I am sure in the future somebody will have a stand alone computer and wire harness, but right now, I do not see it as possible.

I'm starting to see a couple of the 68REs pop up for sale at pretty good prices. If I had the scratch I would pick one up and wait until a conversion kit is available. Once it can be done then I'm sure the prices for just the trans will start to go way up.....

Yeah, I was just wondering with six speeds being so sweet.
Right now I need to cure the shuttle shift on low throttle and buy a Transgo kit. Anybody have a vendor for the Transgo? Geno's doesn't sell them. I found a couple places that had them for $70 plus $16 shipping and that's a lot for shipping...

If you have driven a truck with the 6-speed, especially with a heavy trailer behind, you would not ask that question. For me, I think I would almost rather just get a newer truck because then you get the factory E-Brake too. The combo is really nice...
