the disc brakes were "rebuilt" when i got the truck, i found out later that the last guy to work on it only did brake hardware and no master cylinders. so i put new ones in and got a dual reservoir power booster at cost, and will put that on as soon as i have motivation. but for now the br...

i found a guy on craigslist who was selling or parting out a parts truck he got. he's going to let me cut a section out of the bed of the truck at no cost, and thats pretty awesome! so there is that problem solved. yesterday i pulled a power steering pump and bracket from a 72 f100, now all i need t...

After a trip to the junk yard, I pulled a Hurst floor shifter off a 74 f100, and the column shift linkage off a 72 f100. I think I'm going to move the shifter back to the column now that I've got all the parts needed. My total today, 19 bucks!

haus thanks!! i might actually bid on that radiator support! i wasnt really ready to get into another project that, but for that piece in that good of condition i do appreciate the search you made. your advice on the parts truck is noted, and i regret not buying a '73 for $300 from a friend of mine....

OK so I have a 65 long bed 300 big six with a 3 speed top loader out of a 65 falcon. First is the most important, my radiator support is rusted pretty bad and I know ill ha e to replace it soon. From what I've read and searched. There isn't a direct replacement part. So, any suggestions? Second my b...

3 forward 1 reverse. 9 bolts on the top pan, trans came out of a 65 falcon

thanks, after some thought and searching im going to move the shifter back to the column. as long as i can do it for less than 100 bucks.

Yeah, it will work. They actually came from the factory like that. I have a 3 spd toploader from a 72 f100 in my 63 wrongbed. If you get the column, get the shift rods too. are the shift rods the same? i know i can get other linkage parts to make it work but i cant find the rods and im not sure if ...

perhaps with others, but as far as i can see ive only got 2 levers. it actually looks like it might work with some custom brackets and whatnot. i pulled out the shop manual, and compared pictures and such with my trans, and i think it just might work. but id be curious to know if someone has any exp...

ive searched quite a bit on many forums and never got an exact answer, people have posed the opposite and varying questions. like someone wanted to use the column shifter with a t5, or someone wanted to use a floor shifter with a side loader. etc... what i want to know is can i use my existing colum...

so after i replaced the cab mounts i drove the truck around yesterday all day. it was awesome! no more rocking no more crunching and squeaking noises. but my shifter sucks. so at some point the past someone put a 3 speed top loader in. not sure what kind of shifter it is but it sucks. the linkage is...

ha, thanks guys, i did have bigger fish to fry before i did that job (like replacing my cab mounts, which i started today and should finish tomorrow). my friend ended up buying the truck and fixing the roof so a new windshield would fit (the guy is a magician with metal). i think he gave the truck t...

i have FINALLY gotten around to doing my cab mounts. its been months, there was a friend of a friend who had done several of these and offered to help. long story short, while waiting for him we decided to sell our house and move (which meant finishing projects that were started fast, and we're stil...

A friend has informed me of an 87 f150. Running it just had a tree fall on the cab. Its being sold for 300 bucks.
This seems like a perfect opportunity for me to put a better drive train in my 65 f100.
What kind of headache can I expect if I were to do this?

earlier t5? i didnt think about speedometers being a factor. hrm....

any s10 tailshaft?

madmaxetc

GREAT PICTURES!
i see that it looks like you had to modify or add an adapter plate. you tell me a bit about what you did, do you have a thread about the build?

thanks Greg! i think i'll pull one from a junk yard 100 bucks! will the bell housing bolt directly on? any modifications i need to make?

everythings good. i got the right manuals. woo!!

manufactured in Norfolk VA in august '64 shipped to richmond for sale. originally red in color, 240ci 6cyl 3 speed standard duty trans.

Jamesdfo, that sounds like a great idea! I'm sold! Now to figure that out!
