Kick the C6 to the curb.
Complete, engineered kits to drop a modern Ford 6R80 six-speed automatic into Bumpside & Dentside F-series trucks and other classics. Every bracket, crossmember, harness and line — boxed, labeled, and ready to wrench in your own garage.
*Application-dependent. Kits ship to your door — installation is DIY-friendly or handled by your local shop.
We box up the hard part.
We don't install — we engineer and supply the kit so you (or your shop) can do the swap right the first time.

Brackets and mounts come Cerakote-coated for corrosion resistance and a clean, finished look under the truck. Certified process, done in-house.

Local customers · by appointmentCerakote Coating
Certified Cerakote process for brackets, crossmembers, and hardware — corrosion resistance and a clean, finished look under the truck. Custom colors on request.
Sound Deadening
Full cab treatment — floor, doors, firewall, and cab back — to kill road roar, heat, and rattle. Makes an old dentside ride like something built this decade.
Audio Systems
Head units, speakers, amps, and subs sized for a classic cab — clean installs that keep the vintage look up front while sounding modern. Bluetooth & retro-style options.
Wiring & Electrical
Swap harness integration, standalone transmission controller wiring, and full chassis rewiring with modern fuse blocks — labeled, loomed, and done right so nothing melts down the road.
Not local? No problem — every kit ships nationwide and is built to be installed by you or your shop. These services are just for folks who'd rather drop the truck off with us.
One kit. Everything you need.
No upsells, no picking and choosing parts. The complete 6R80 bolt-in kit ships with every piece to do the swap right — application-dependent.

Rigs running our kits.
Old iron, modern gears.
Dan's Resto Emporium started in a home garage with one goal: make the 6R80 overdrive swap something a regular gearhead can actually pull off. No more screaming down the highway at 3,000 RPM in a rebuilt C6.
We obsess over fitment so you don't have to fabricate. Every kit is test-fit, the hardware is Cerakote-finished, and the instructions are written by someone who's done the swap on a lift and on jack stands. If it's not good enough to go under our own truck, it doesn't ship.
