Transmission Compatibility
Gentlemen,
I haven't been able to find a direct answer; and I don't intend to start a giant discussion.
My dilemma is: I have a 79 F100 with what I believe to be a Saginaw 3sp that is stuck in 3rd (and in a bad way to begin with)
I know a guy who has a "3 sp" out of a 72 F100 that he is willing to give to me. He is elderly and far away, so I'm trying to figure out with what little info I have if its worth it to go get.
He says the truck has a 3 speed and he believes its a top-loader like my own.
Are these years compatible as far as transmissions? [As a side note, what tips do you guys have for pulling and reinstalling a transmission on these trucks?]
Thanks!

I dropped my T18 using a jack and blocks with some ratchet straps around the frame. Let it down controlled and slowly. Reverse procedure for install. I think I hand some help for the last few inches and mating it up.
I needed long extensions and swivels. A power driver makes quick work of removing cross members and such.
If you replace the clutch resurface or replace the flywheel.

Many of the internal parts are the same, what size are the two engines?
