THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION NEEDED
I have a 1965 F100 and I'm wanting to restore it to original condition is as close as I can. So far I was able to find a straight 6 but now I need a three speed trans and bellhousing column shift.
I plan on searching the local pick & pluck junk yards but I'm not exactly sure what identification markings to look for or the length of the tail shaft.
I'm located in southern California ( LA Orange County area) if you have one laying around and have no need for it let me know.
Thanks

The length of the wheelbase (either 114" or 129") makes a difference in the length of the output shaft and extension housing.
If you bought this truck without an engine or transmission, I would assume you're also missing the shift rods from the trans to the steering column.
If these are missing, they can be a real b!tch to find, even here in LA LA Land! Suggest trying to locate a complete truck with the apropos wheelbase and get all the parts that are missing from it.
btw: The Warner T-98 4 speed referenced in post 2 will not fit any 1965 and later truck.

Thanks number dummy, it is a short wheel base 114" and I believe I have all of the linkage for the truck. So a three speed with syncromesh will fit but how can an untrained eye spot one out? What will the ID Tag have on it?
Thanks
