I have a three on the tree and wonder what all is involved in installing
an overdrive on my 54 effie. All original motor and trans currently. And
where do I find one?
Thanks,
Dobie

Hi gang!

All this 3+OD talk and I had to put my 2 Cents in.

I have a Borg Warner 3+OD that came in the same 53 Merc sedan that gave up
the crank my hotrod flattie is running. But because I have committed to a
3.04 rear axle and 235/75 R15's, I haven't decided if I'm going to use it.
I'm still thinking about a wide range (low 1ST) toploader or a T-5 (which
will fit with the correct adapter and throw-out sleeve/bearing combo).

Also, I have decided to wire for 12V and the solenoids are 6V,
another hurdle to deal with.

For the right price, I may part with it.
Write me direct if anyone is interested in it!

Regards,

Jay Boyd

These guys do great work at a decent price. You ship it to them and they
pay the return shipping. My local platers wanted almost twice what AIH did
my F6 bumper for. It cost me $13 to ship the (vary large) bumper.

More thoughts on the 3 speed with O/D. After becoming interested in this
setup I attempted to find an original for my 53 F100. Not easy to do. Spent
two days in Carlisle looking and talking to lots of ford people but no one
had a trans for my 53. In fact only one man said he had ever seen one in a
pickup. Found several for cars but they will not work in your 53 to 55
pickup. Input shaft is longer and bigger in diameter than a car. Also don't
try to put your pickup input shaft into a car 3 speed with O/D. Wont work as
the input (pu) won't mate with car output shaft. Also bearing is larger on
pu. There is a way to make the car trans work with pu input shaft. If there
is an interest I will try to explain how I did it. The one I did works fine
but too early to tell about longevity, but believe it will work fine. Also I
got rid of all electric's and going manual with cables.

Most classic truck suppliers sell them. Seems the cheapest place is
JOhns F-fun 100's. Cost about $325 for the front and $375 for the
rear.

If anyone knows of a better deal, let me know!!!
