1966 F100 Transmission Repair or Swap
I have a 1966 F100 with a FoMoCo C5AR 7006 C, 3 speed (no OD), column shift transmission in need of new bearings. I need to either replace the bearings or replace the transmission.
Is there a direct fit 3 or 4 speed floor shifter I can drop in that would only require a hole in the floor for the shifter?
Or, are parts available for the rebuild. I have not found any good sources for a rebuild kit.
Also, how hard is it to rebuild this tranny?
Thanks for your help.

Try these guys for parts. I've been buying parts from them for over 40 years......

Good grief, those 3 speeds are in everyone's shed. I know a guy who has one by me (Hershey, PA) he'd love to get rid of. The problem is they are not cost effective to ship.
I can't imagine they are difficult to rebuild. The MOTOR repair manual for that vintage does cover teardown of the trans. Other than a few things like the seals for the selector shafts not being readily available I had no trouble finding parts for mine at NAPA (new seals) when I did the clutch.

I don't know where you are, but one of the guys on here told me he could rebuild a 3 speed for about $375. PM if you want more info.
Personally I have a love hate relationship with the 4 speed 3 speed argument. I like 3 on the tree because very few people can drive them, but another gear would help. Not to say many 4 speeds give you a higher top end.

It's the rear gear ratio that makes the difference.

I had front and rear dana 60's shipped cross country for $150.. I'm sure they could do the trans very cheap.
