I am looking for a bell housing to modify for a t5 so looks like a 3 speed or 4 speed would work. With them is there any difference in the pedals?

Anyone have a 3 speed or 4 speed bellhousing for sale?

 

Is there a stamp on the bellhousing to help identify which bellhousing is what? From 2 pictures I have seen it seem like a v8 with 3 speed is TAAC 7505-A is that right? Also what is the stamp for a 4 speed if so?

 

the diff in a 4 gear housing and 3 speed as far as i know is the larger trans mount pattern and the four gear uses a couple of different mounting brackets for the linkage for the clutch pedal . they look the same but the mounting pattern on the brackets is a little different . i got it all laying around here and if i can find the time when i'm not in the white ih at work or the honey do list i'll try and get some pics . the pedals are all the same . the housing , the little brackets i got from jon on here are the only difference in putting the heavy 4 in my 53 1/2 ton .

 

I have a 1953 f100 I am restoring it is a basket case and some of the parts are missing , the bell housing you have a picture is missing ,would you sell the one pictured? It is a marmon 4x4

 

I don't have any of those, it's just a picture from Google. Do you have a flathead V8 or an OHV 6?

 

Hi Clasie37

Welcome to FTE. We would love to see pictures of your truck even if it is a basket case. And being a MH would do you know of its history etc.
A few of us on here are working on MH trucks.

I think i still have a bellhousing from 53 but think its for a 4 speed? Your f100 is a 3 speed i assume?

Add my welcome. Glad to have you, and glad to have another M-H. I'm sure you'll find your bell housing here. I don't have one. Stu

 

I have no connection to this one, which is for a Y-block, but it's for a three-speed:
Ford 292 V-8 truck bellhousing

 

Y block bell housing not the same as Flatty V8 or I-6 bell housing.

1953: There are two different F100 flatty V8 bell housings =

TAAC-7505-A .. Bell Housing = 1953 F100 with Light Duty 3 speed & 3 speed with Overdrive.

TBAC-7505-A .. Bell Housing = 1953 F100/500 with Heavy Duty Warner T-87 3 speed & 1953 F100/600 with Warner T-98 4 speed.

 

this is clasie37 I am new to this club so I am flying by the seat of my pants. I love old fords ,I presently have 36 coupe ,40 pickup, 41 ford coupe, all restored, and now I am working on a 53 f100 and need a bellhousing like in your pic.LD 3spd the blue on is it for sale? jk

 

Sorry, JK, that bell housing is the one I used on my truck.

The problem with the '53 V8 bell housing is they only used it for one year on the USA trucks. In '54 they went with the new Y-Block, so the bell housing changed. It is my understanding they still used the flathead V8 in Canada in '54, and the bell housing is the same.

I just checked the classifieds here and over on the HAMB and there are none for sale at this time.

My best advise is to keep asking here, and keep and eye out on eBay and your local Craig's List.

And welcome to FTE.

 

I have one for a 53 v8 flathead 3 speed - pm me if interested

 

I have a TAAK-7505-B that came with my 53 F100. The truck came from the factory with a flathead V8 but the engine was gone when I bought the truck. I am assuming that this bellhousing was the original but can't be sure. I am headed out to my storage barn tomorrow so if someone needs it let me know before then and I can bring it home with me...otherwise it may be weeks before I head out that way again.

 

I'm not sure what the TAAK-7505-B fits. Mine is a TAAC-7505-A for a Flathead V8 w/LD 3sp. The TBAC-7505-A is the HD 3sp or 4sp.

Edit: According to Ford-y-block dot com, TAAK-7505-B is a '57-'64 L6 3sp.

 

Thanks for the info, I'll have to bookmark that website.
