I have a 1963 Ford F250 with 223ci l6 with 3-speed on the tree trans. I need a new tails shaft seal but see there is some leaking from other seals on the trans as well.

The only #s i can make out on the ID tag are H E U 015524. The tail shaft casting #s are C3AR-7A040. Please help with ID so I can get proper seals

Ford type 3.03 3 speed manual all syncromesh transmission introduced in 1963 F100/250, used thru 1986. Also used in misc 1963/80 Passenger Cars, 1966/77 Bronco, 1965/87 Econoline.

That's what this trans is due to the C3AR casting number prefix.

NAPA has all the parts.

Can you please break down my VIN plate. I am restoring my grandpas F250 he left to me but he was notorious for taking out something messed up and throwing in whatever.

Thanks a great deal!!! Where can I get the code/s for interior seat color?

Here she is, what is she......someone told me a Unibody?

 

Not a Unibody - they had the bed welded to the cab with no separation in between.


You have what is commonly called a "wrong bed" because the cab lines do not match the bed lines. But, it is original style bed for the pre-1964 trucks, other than unibodies.


Here's a link to some pictures of a Unibody for comparison.

Great looking Wrongbed !! Right down to the stock hub caps. My kind of truck.

 

1957/60 Styleside "wrong" beds installed on the following 1961/66's:

1961/65 F100/250 4WD / 1961/66 F350 (9' Express only) / 1962/63 F100/250 2WD / 1966 F250 4WD

 

Hey, I didn't say it was incorrect for newer years. I have two 1966 F250 4x4 trucks and you don't think I know they came with a wrong bed? Lol. You'd have to be joking....


I was letting him know the bed was correct for his truck. I didn't figure he gave a **** about what all years it came on. But, maybe he does....

This implies the wrong beds were not used after 1964. Considering you have two '66's with these beds, why would you type this?

 

I wasn't implying anything. Stop putting words into other peoples mouths, please.

Where can I get the code/s for the proper seat color/covering?

Also where can i get a replacement weld-in curragated bed pan?

There are no upholstery codes for 1963, 1964 was the first year.

BODY code for 1963 is only related to Standard or Custom Cabs.

 

NumberDummy do you have a diagram for the front shocks on my above 63 F250? The shock look to habe no bracket and go through the sway bar(possibly not right term) at an angle lookong hard to replace. Please advise
