Re: 1988 5 speed in a 1965 ??

The M5OD uses a slave/release bearing combination as you mentioned.
The trans you mentioned is also referred to as an SROD. Has pretty wide ratio spacing.

Re: 1988 5 speed in a 1965 ??

I understand, like I said I'm removing this stuff anyway. I just gave you first shot since you brought it up. Drive shaft isn't much of an issue, driveshaft shop can fix one for you in a couple hours. Transmission, when going for parts like this I usually try to pull them from a vehicle that appear...

Re: 1988 5 speed in a 1965 ??

The M5OD is a nice piece for a daily driver, nice smooth shifting transmission with a shifter that is appropriate for a truck. Actually bigger Slicks often came with a hydraulic clutch so it's not much of a change. The hydraulic clutch has the advantage of being self adjusting too. It's actually le...

Clutch master cylinder option. Yes, it's a stock single brake master cylinder, with the stock reinforcement plate. It almost just bolts in. I'll actually be removing this setup from my 64 since I now have an AOD to install in it. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn38/GregDvsn/1964%20F%20250/clutc...

Re: "What does the Fox say?"

It won't take long to spruce up the Mustang enough for now. I'm going to get after the 64 very shortly - Mustang should be done by next weekend. I'll give the Mustang a nice paint job after the 64 is done, touchup will hold it fine till then. The problem I had with the 79 was I kept having visions ...

Comparison between the stock straight axle integrated steering box and the Toyota PS box?
I need to know if it get me any more header clearance.

"What does the Fox say?"

"Let's go Topless!" Traded my 79 F 150 - straight trade. One reason is, with 2 trucks to do, NEITHER of them was ever going to get done - 1 had to go and it wasn't going to be the 64. I pretty much haven't touched the 64 since I got the 79, I work on it instead. The AOD I bought for the 7...

New under bed fuel tanks.

Made by No Limit Engineering - 17 and 21 gallon.
These look like a really nice piece, no they aren't cheap but it's not a stamped stock tank either.

Re: 302/5.0 Recommendations

Toyz is right, you'll have a much easier time finding a roller cam 5.0 in GOOD condition in an Explorer or Mountaineer. The roller cam engine makes quite a bit more torque so better suited to these trucks. Most carbed 302s are very weak engines. They showed up pretty much at the beginning of the sm...

Re: Chrome Shops?

I missed that before Steve.
I find it odd they don't do 1 piece bumpers there.
I used to send steel rollers for printing presses there to be copper plated.
