Thank you one and all, for the help. Got some sharp minds on this
list. My son picked up a 351M balancer at a scrap yard for $25.00. Most
used parts places would'nt sell it seperate, said it's hard to sell the
whole motor with it missing. I WILL use the proper tool next time, this
is my first rebuild. I'm learning alot,"the hard way".
Thanks once more

Do you mean two wheel drives or 4x4's? I have a 76 F-150 SuperCab two
wheel drive and it has coil springs in front.

Howdy!

I hope someone can help me. I am try to identify the type of
transmission my truck has ('63 F100, 292 Y-block, 3-speed, LWB Flareside).
All I have been able to find on the casing is as follows:
on the rear of the transmission: C3AR-7A040 with a large 'E' next
to the code
on the front of the transmission: C3AR-006 with a large 'E' next
to the code
Should there be something more that I am over looking?

One other question: Can anyone tell the correct level of gear oil
the rear end should have? I checked it and it is about an inch below the
plug in the rear.

Thanks in advance.

I've been trying to get a nice shot of my '73 F100 for my Web page. Why
is it everything takes talent! Every picture turns out looking like a field
with a truck in it!
Is it Saturday? Where is everyone? FoMoCo must have made Gary work today
;)
My Chilton shows F100 & F150 as having coil springs on both 4x4 and 2x4
thru '80. But you can't believe everything they say in a Chiltons! :)]-

Hi J.C.
My Chilton has the transmission code "E" as a Warner T-87-3 Speed. Your
rear ends gear oil level should be up to the bottom of the fill hole.
Later!

Sorry about the confusion there. I was talking about the 4x4 equipped
F150 supercab. I am not sure but The 3/4 ton supercab, 2x this time,
was also a coil spring front end, (I think, I have not kept up on my
2x's as much as I should). The supercabs and the crew cabs were always
kind of on the not to often ordered list.

You need to go to your local you pull-it and get the bellhousing from a
302 that was bolted to a standard trans. BTW I am doing this same
conversion and would like to know where you found the motor mounts. Hope
this helps and thanks for your info.

Does anyone know about swapping an automatic overdrive 4 speed
transmission into a 72 - 79 pickup with a 390 FE? Has anyone done it?
Are there any kits/parts available? Would it be cheaper / easier to
install an aftermarket overdrive unit that mounts on the end of the
transmission tail shaft? Looking for better fuel economy. All info
appreciated.

George,

I have not been able to find the vin or any type of code on the
truck. (maybe I am looking in all the wrong places). All that I have
is the vin # from the title of the truck:

F10CD390636

Thanks for your help.
