Would like to purchase heavy duty top loader three speed for "49 F-!. Please send pictures with what you have and what you need to get for it. I want to replace a four speed with granny--Trade? Thanks John

 

John, you will like the HD 3 speed however they are heavy and shipping would eat you alive I suspect.They weigh almost as muck as the 4 speed.Good luck with your search.

 

Where are you located in MN?

Have you thought of using a modern tranny with O/D? I haven't done it but it's probably a little more work and you get O/D for better gas mileage and the newer transmissions have better highway gearing.

 

I have got a 4 speed out of a 48 F1 if you are interested.

 

Thanks, but no. 'm looking for a three speed. John

 

Not sure if you have seen this yet, do a search for T5 transmission swap. A few people here have done it. Puts in a 5 speed from an S10 so you get synchronized gears and overdrive.

 

I have a three speed out of a 54 F100
