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

 

I HAVE A 1961 4 SPD 1 GRANNY LOW 2, 3, 4TH GEAR THIS HAS A PTO IT IS FROM A DUMP TRUCK 1961 F600 (NO BELL HOUSING) WILL IT WORK FOR YOU? MARK S. (MERCMX)

 

No , I'm looking to go back to stock and the truck originally came with a three speed. Thanks

 

Nice to know where you are at.

I have a extra 3 speed,, Im in middle Georgia not far from Mercmx.

 

I'm sure in SoCal you'll be able to come up with a viable 240 or 300 with a transmission.

Don't settle....hold out for a good set.

 

1965/66 F100 240/300 I-6 with Ford type 3.03 3 speed manual all syncromesh trans:

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

 

The ID tag will probably be long gone and even if it's there, there are a gazillion different ID numbers for the correct trans.

Where in LA LA Land are you located?

 

I'm in west Garden Grove. I've seen (online auctions) I'd tags with "RAT or RAH" on them but I'm unsure of witch one is correct.

 

If you need a few pictures let me know . I have one I yanked out a couple of months ago. Tom

 

Sure if you some pictures I'd like to see them, I should help me trying to identity one.

Thanks

 

Try calling Anaheim Gear in Orange. They usually have just about anything you could ever need for any manual transmission, including complete units . I believe their number is 714-778-1103.

 

RAN (no such thing as RAH) is for an I-6. But both the RAN & RAT ID prefixes were not used until 1967.

1965 F100 240 I-6 3 M/T Light Duty w/a 114" wheelbase: HEF-BL or HEF-BH

1965 F100 240/300 I-6 & 352 3 M/T Medium Duty w/a 114" wheelbase: HEG-N or HEG-T

1966 F100 240 I-6 3 M/T Light Duty w/a 114" wheelbase: HEF-BL or HEF-CH

1966 F100 300 I-6 & 352 3 M/T Medium Duty w/a 114" wheelbase: HEG-Y

 

Thanks number dummy, if I'm understanding your post correctly, any of these transmissions will fit?

Thanks Mikeb's66, I will look them up.

 

I am going to stick my neck out a little, but I believe any 3 spd through the 70s should be a workable fit. Most everything else of that era swaps.
