Bullit390, as far as lifting the trans you have to realize Manfred is like 6'4'' and 200lbs.
Manfred, get the parts and bring it by the shop if ya want a little help rebuilding/installing. I think we can fit your truck in the shop no problem.... it'd be a LOT easier installing it in there, ya know.
so the real questions...
Did you get:
1. Shifter and boot
2. Clutch/Pressure plate et el
3. Pedal assembly and Zbar
I couldn't load the pictures, our signal stinks out here. I think I get back on land around Feb 23rd or something.

The M5OD I recently snagged for my Ranger is a breeze compared to those two!

you will need to shorten your front driveshaft and lengthen the rear or find a a set out of a manual trans 4wd truck.

I've got a 78 F150 with a 4spd. I'm willing to sell the pedal assembly and all the clutch linkage. The only thing is it's got a 300 inline 6 so I don't know if the Z-bar will work for your swap or not. I'm not sure if they had different width Z-bars for the different engines. But if you want any of my parts shoot me a PM and we can work out a deal.

Looks fine to me... Definately get some new plastic pads for the forks though.
I am going thru replacing the FM145 in my Ranger with a newer M5OD. The tranny was howling like a banshee, but I pulled the cover yesterday and it looks pristine that POS.
If you really want a rebuild just get a bearing and gasket kit and if your nervous about it find a replacement gear. Maybe add synchro rings, but the rest looks good.
