Some years the back-up light switch is mounted on the push-button control box and possibly the starter switch is in with the neutral button, that is the only electrical connections you should find. Bryce

All cables,shift and park. no electronics.Only have to hook up kick down linkage from carb.
Not REALLY necessary ... You can just tie-back fully the lever(during HP usage) and partial tie-back during a cruise ...or make-it a permanent manual shift valve-body.

Backlight light switch,yes, starter sw. in N button I don't think in 64. They would look neat in a streetrod,I once saw some mounted on a roll bar in a old altered wheelbase car. The Kentucky Col. I think.

that 64 will have a seperate lever for park. Other than that all is as mentioned above. I have seen them used in custom applications and looks and works great 
I have mechanical Aptitude.
I can screw up anything.

Don't intend to steal a post, but is a push button 727 different from a regular 727? My 56 has the pushbutton console, but someone put in a floor shifter. Don't know if the cables are there or not.
Prob. not,56 pushbuttons would have been on the dash. It could have a later model trans. Pushbutton trans cables go into the trany and control gear selection internaly. I don't think 56's had a park lever. 56 was the first year for pushbuttons. 55's had a lever on the dash,at least plymouth's did.

The push button shifters changed during the 65 model year. Its possible someone installed a 65 or newer 727 which required a different shift mechanisum. The floor shift would have been the fast, easy way out. Gene
the 65's were the last year for the cable shift trans. although they got away from the pushbuttons. They are very desireable because 65's had a slip yoke instead of the ball and trunion joint.

Using it is as easy as this - find a puchbutton shifter assy, ( I'm using one out of a 57 truck in my 55 truck ..."loadflite" for trucks ) get a shifter cable and bracket kit from inperial services..they will want to know what year os shifter for the correct cable end style....the kit comes with bracket that mounts to trans pan rail bolts and light weight shifter detent ball spring.......hook it up and go. Well, it's not that easy, some fab work no doubt. I'm planning on using the 1972 Torqueflite that came with the 440 New Yorker I stripped for the driveline and will be instlling it the 440/727 in my 55 Dodge truck. The cable i got seems almost 5 ft long if memory serves, they can custom make cables as well. I can't wait to bolt it up and go, ps - if you use a shifter from a trans that had no "park" detent feature built in, make shure your hand brake is good ! best, Derek

Wouldn't a '56 trans be cast iron vs aluminum?What does your '56 have?
RT
Late 56 Powerflites had an aluminum case. My 56 Plymouth has an iron case with aluminum bellhousing and aluminum tailshaft.
Only a few late-56 Chryslers and Imperials had Torqueflites; no Dodges or Plymouths. Torqueflites were available in all models in 1957.
AFAIK, pre-62 Torqueflites all had cast iron cases with separate aluminum bellhousings.
1962 was the first year for the park lever and the first year for the aluminum-case Torqueflite with the integral bellhousing. But 62 Chryslers did not have a park lever (even though they had the new aluminum trans, they still had the parking brake drum on the rear of the trans).
All of the pre-62 Torqueflites and Powerflites are hooked up to engines with the old-style extended crank, and the torque convertor bolts directly to the crank, with no flex plate.

Thought I would add my two cents. I built my 33 Plymouth with a cast iron TF behind the 392 (1957). I used the pushbutton assembly out of a 58 Dodge and it worked fine. However, ultimately, I was not happy with the CI TF and swapped in a TH350 out of my 40 Ford. I still have the pushbuttons to work it, although I would prefer to have PARK, which cannot be done with that mechanism. I went inside the tranny and reduced the detent spring force and built some pretty fancy linkage after the cable. I'm just about to switch to a B&M shifter, even though it won't be as cool.

So ramman 16248, have you decided to get that 64 drive train? I hope so. Should be a unique set up. Get all you can brackets, pullies, linkage, cables and you will have a nice easy build. maybe even some day a 6pack to go.
