5 speed manual
Im planning to do a 5 speed swap on my 82 f150 4x4. I have the trans, sticks, pedals, master and slave cylinders from an 89 f250 4x4.
What else am I going to need to complete this swap?
My 82 has a 351w and a 4 speed currently(the trans is on the Fritz). The donor truck had a 351w as well.
Any help is appreciated. I would like to replace the trans in my 82 before it dies completely.
Thanks in advance,
Sam

Those late pedals won't work. Something about they are different where they bolt up somewhere, might be the dash. For a bolt in, you need 86-down pedals.
It's sounding like you got a zf 5 speed if you got it out of a f250. Does it have the external slave cylinder? If it does, I think I remember someone using the original mechanical setup(that's what you have correct?) and modifying the rod underneath to actuate the clutch arm instead of the slave. Maybe someone will come by and say something about that.
If you want to(or have to) use the hydraulic setup, like I said you need a earlier set of hydraulic pedals, and will need to punch the holes out in the firewall for the clutch master to mount.
If the trannies are within a inch of being the same length, everything else should work.

I will like the truck fixed for sure and the overdrive will be a much nicer setup. I got the parts for a good deal so im excited about it. I was just not sure if I had everything I needed

I would also install the firewall brace. Not required, but lots easier to do it up front than repair the firewall if it cracks. And many did as Ford put out a TSB on the problem within the first year of the hydraulic setup coming out.
