Thank you NumberDummy, The trans that is in truck has a label. The ID tag is Clark Model 285 V10
C7TA
Serial 72528H 7004B-2
So it looks like I can swap trans with my 70 F600. The Clark looks to be in good shape. Also a 5 speed couldn't hurt? Engine runs great, just doesn't go far on 20 gallons of fuel. I'm in Orange County, CA. Gas is over $4.00 a gallon.
