I recently picked up a Mopar with a pushbutton TF and the trunion style yoke. Thaty yoke is not in very good shape and is missing it's "dust boot". Can these cars be converted to a later style slip joint yoke, if so what is required? Or do I need to toss the trans and move on?

The '65 had the slip yoke, rear pump, and cable shift / cable park.
I think it would be easier to take a newer 727 and adapt the pushbutton cable to work the newer shift lever?

I agree the B&T is strong.My 65 4 speed still runs the OE one.Ive broken a bunch of rear joints but never had problems with the frt.I see kits on Ebay for usually about 60 bucks.Rocky
