So I have a good news/bad news senario here, the drive shaft survived the u-joint failing at 60 MPH but 4th gear did not! It still works but has developed a death rattle in between on and off load and a bad howl in the front bearing. I am looking for either the T-19 for a direct swap or a ZF to move on to the 5speed world. Anybody have anything laying around collecting dust, a parts truck you don't need the trans out of...? I have found a used T-19 for $260 after shipping, and have yet to search for the ZF. All help is welcome and appreciated.

Over Christmas I was at my in-laws place in Vancouver, WA and the wiper motor in my F250 died and I found a junkyard called Tony's Ford Truck Parts in Portland, all they have is ford trucks. The place is a little sketchy in an off-the-books sort of way, but if you are able to get to Portland they would probably have a T-18 or a ZF5. There phone number is 503-262-0636.
