Thread: 63 Galaxie 500 Xl tranny confusion Cruise-o-matic to BW t-10

Tweet

I bought my 63 galaxie 500 xl box top without the tranny. It's supposed to have a cruise-o-matic in it. I recently came accross a BW t-10 tranny with everything to convert it to a 4 speed that came out of a 63 galaxie with a 390. What I need to figure out is how long a cruise-o-matic is becuase theres a guy I know that has the BW T-10 tranny yoke that I need to get becuase the cruise-o-matic is too big in diameter. He is telling me that there is a difference in lenght of the driveshafts between a stick and an automatic. The driveshaft did come with my car and from end to end it is 57 3/4. I measured to the very end not to the center of the u-joint holes. Can anyone help me out with the dimensions of a cruise-o-matic? Thanks. Bob.

What state is your Plainfield ????? Like I'm a few miles north of Plainfield Illinois

I live in Plainfield, Wisconsin. Only has about one thoughsand people. Small town.

You're going to have to change the yoke on the driveshaft anyway, so get the trans installed and then measure for the cut.
