What did this tranny come from, and would it be an easy replacement for a New Process 4 Speed Granny. I have a 1970 F100 Long bed with 302 it originally had a light 3speed column shift (someone swapped in the granny gear). Presently I have fixed yoke and two piece shaft. I would like to go back to column shift ( I rebuilt the column months ago with that idea), I can't bring myself to take out the granny for a plain 3sp, but I will go through some trouble to do it for a T85 overdrive if it is something that will work.I dont want to sell my soul to the machine shop making parts. Old guy has had it under his bench for 20 years (was going to put o/d behind an auto but never got any further) He say the man he got it from took it from an early 60's ( has date code of 6/19/63 on it some where) I have not seen it yet. I just asked him to get me all the numbers he could find on it.
I could have sworn there was an article on this subject but I can't find it now.
He has just the tranny no bell housing.
Thanks for any help in advance
Thanks, I had thought of the solenoid issue but I am still undecided (wife wants the column thingy back). The thing that really concerns me is the input shaft length, I thought I read somewhere that car / truck bellhousings had a different depth. I don't want to have to come up with another 3 speed to steal parts from.
