Start by reading Dan McDonald's article here in the tech section. Your best supplier for the parts you'll need for the conversion are your local junkyards.

Thanks andym.I would like to use all new parts (aftermarket) if possible, where do I find Dan McDonald's article.I'm new here and new to computers. I looked around but haven't found the article yet.As for using aftermarket parts I know you can get just about any part you want I just don't know what companies make what. If you know of any companies that might have what I am looking for it would be appreciated.

Click on 'tech articles' to the right, then scroll down until you find the article. I forget the name of it.

No one (ok, maybe somebody does, but I doubt it) makes new TTBs for old ford trucks. If they did, they would charge an arm and a leg for them. Ford stopped making the TTB in 1997.

Seriously, stick with a junkyard. Unless you're made of money.
