Re: my 66 f100
So pulled the truck out of the garage today and installed my passenger side mirror and took her around the block.... must say i cant wait to get the transmission swapped over and will need to look into improving the manual brakes and what a chore to turn without ps lol

I just changed out a COM for a C-6. I bought a case of amsoil and had 1 and about a third of a quart left.

I should say that was for the torque converter as well.

Re: my 66 f100
So im looking to order a few more pieces for my transmission swap and was wondering what size and style fittings would i need for the trans where the cooler lines hook up to it? Looking to run hose instead of braided lines. Thanks

Re: my 66 f100
Well the carpet is ordered
Re: my 66 f100
I was getting ready to ask the question of what linkage you used for your C-6 swap. Never mind I saw the floor shift. I have a C-6 and getting ready to swap the New Process four speed out and C-6 in.
