Hey guys, I'm swapping an '89 EFI 4.9L into our '64 F-100 4x4, wondering what trans (stick) that these trucks used that would bolt up. From what I can find, my truck originally came with a 292 V8, BW T-18 and a Dana 24 transfer case (divorced). The trans code on the data plate is "F".

I was going to use the 5-speed out of the donor truck, and it's married t-case, but I'm thinking how much easier it'll be to not have to re-figure driveline angles, hydraulic clutch plumbing and such, and I may be needing the 5-speed for the wife's truck, as the E4OD is on it's last legs.

Is there a bellhousing to mate a T-18 to the 300 block? If not, what trans swap would be easiest? An NP435? There is one on Craigslist local to me cheap, got me thinking.

What manual transmissions were available in slicks with the 300 I-6?
