I'll probably order my t18 shortly after I move. I'm going to get one completely rebuilt with the adapter to my Dana 300 for 1690 + shipping

 

What are the other specs on your truck. I'm trying to decide on the best tire size for my setup. It's got 3.73s currently with the 4 speed going in.

 

Not sure where you're located but here in Dallas there are several shops that can build custom hoses with whatever ends you need. Usually for not much more than you would pay for OEM replacements depending on the material (i.e. not braided stainless hose).

 

That's true didn't think about that. Have plenty of agriculture supply places nearby. I may go with the stock 300 ps pump then. I kinda miss my old whiney ford pumps I've had.

 

Or I could just throw a manual box in.
