HELP! T170 & 3.03 pros and cons
Hello y'all.
I have an 85' F150 with a 300 Inline 6 Y block with a T170FT behind it, I'm not too fond of the over drive, I found a 3.03 trans that's been rebuilt, 3 speed manual. What are the pros and cons to switching to a 3.03, and what would be required physically to make the swap.
sorry if this was somewhat vague.
thanks in advance!

You're right, this *is* your thread, I'm sorry.
Despite that, trying to mix topics is discouraged; this thread is about asking for a VIN decode and you got your answer.
Asking about a transmission is an entirely different topic that has nothing to do with this thread's title.
I see you have created a new thread with your transmission question, thank you.
This thread is now closed, there is now no way it will be appended by anything else.
