The ZF 5 speed came with the diesel.

Just find a 7.3 diesel 4X4 or superduty (the old superduty that was bigger than the F350 and was used in the tow trucks and had the parking brake where the transfer case would go) ZF 5 speed and just bolt it in.

Interesting, My Dad bought the truck new in 87 he said that the ZF 5 came out the next year for the F250. But it was available in the bigger trucks in 87?

The book "Transmissions Applications and Specifications" from the "Ford parts and service division" tells me it was first offered in the 1988 model year.
