just went by kalispell wrecking by smith's in town...the guy says he has two zf5's at the lot. one for sure is a 4x4 i know...not sure about the other. might be worth a phone call. might wanna consider a t19 perhaps? i know there's a few of those around the junkyards in kalispell as well. might not be exactly what you've planned for, but they're bulletproof, and pretty small so it should work well for your application...assuming the gearing in the rear is cooperative.
did u say you have a 300 already? there's plenty of those to be had as well if not. hell i picked up some parts to get me on a good start today. bellhousing, close ratio t19 w/ TC adapter and all mounting hardware.
let me know when u start building your 300. maybe we can collaborate? i have some spare parts here at the house you might wanna use as well.

I'm looking for a 460 4x4 bell pattern ZF5 speed.

I picked up a '77 F100 parts truck with a 300/NP 4 speed in nice shape. Will transfer the whole setup to the COE. May add aux trans if I can find one.....Or change the rear gears.
Havi, will keep an eye out for one...

Hey Scott
That truck looks like it coming along nicely. I will have to give you a call again next time I'm down. Might not be for a bit though cause I just spent my truck part fund on an old Harley. It was an impulse buy but it was my late father in laws so its kind of special to me. Its been sitting for 10 or 12 years so it will need to be taken apart and put back together with some new parts but at the moment its literally buried in stuff in the back corner of the garage so unless we bust out the back wall its going to stay covered until summer. And the truck is first on the rebuild list before the bike anyways. Say, do you have anything to do with the car show at Foyer Lake in July. I think we are going to make it down for that this year.

You will look good on a Harley....
Stay focused on that '49 though, I expect to see it on the road soon...
If you mean the glacier rod run (based at Foy's Lake?) in July, no I am not a part of that club. We usually go on the poker run/ garage tour on the Friday though. They have a car show/parade down town on the Saturday also.
Give me a call anytime you are down this way!

Thought I should update this thread since I have started working on this again..........
I finally got the behemoth into the shop for the winter. Will be adding the dash, and working on steering, pedals, motor mounts, etc.
Plans have changed for this truck, I have abandoned the car hauler idea and will be shortening the WB a couple feet and adding a script flatbed.
Couple pics for proof.....

Wayne, it's an '89 chevy......I kinda wish now I had something different (a motorhome chassis would work muck better). Too late to change now, it will work with some mods....
