I have a transmission and bell housing and I dont know what it goes to. Part number on the transmission is T87D-IF. Bellhousing number is TRAC-7505A. The trans. has th shift levers coming out of the top. The bell housing does not have frame mount ears. Can any one help?
Thanks

 

NumberDummy will be around shortly to answer your question. I am sure he is looking it up right now!

 

T87D-1F = Warner H/D 3 Speed transmission used in P350/500 Parcel Delivery's (similar to Chevy's Step Van). Many were used by (for example) Frito-Lay to deliver bread to stores. UPS also used them thru 1975.

Your bellhousing was used with this transmission from 1954 thru 1964 with the 292 engine.

The T87 transmission with a different bellhousing, was used from 1965 thru 1975, the end of P Series production.

 

You called it, good work ND!

 

Thanks for the enfo.Now I know that I won't be able to use it.

 

An option tranny for all 53-55 F-100 thru F-500 as well as C and P series trucks. And the newer ones N/D listed. The bellhousing is for whatever years he listed. For 54 and 55, though, it would not be 292, but 239 or 256 Y-block, as the 292 was not an available engine for these years of truck. Trucks with the 3 speed HD are hard to find so it may be worth hanging onto. Most had the light duty 3 speed, or the 4 speed "syncro-silent" which is the B-W T-98. I wouldn't consider it junk, but maybe trading power to some one that is wanting to build a concours restoration.

 

MY bad.. the 292 wasn't available till 1957 on trucks. I knew that, but goofed anyway.

 

It's all good, you provide the best info for the guys on most things post 55, I can take up only the 48-55 slack. Between the two of us, I think we can answer any Part# questions asked in here...huh you think....lol

 

Besides, with all that number info in your brain, I think you're allowed to goof a few times. So, what did you have to delete to make room for all those numbers in your head?...lol

 

Deleted? LOL Nothing was deleted. I'm a whiz on Colt SAA and Winchester serial numbers, too...at least thru 1941 (after that, who cares?). Have lots of other interests, too. US Naval history, for one.

 

LOL, I think I like this guy.....I'm good with the M4A3 Mid production Sherman tank manufactured by Ford in 1943, preferably with the 75mm howitzer and wet artillery stowage. Petty good with the 53-55 Ford trucks, and the 1990 Beretta GTZ, and the first gen S-10's.

 

I've always wondered what the Sherman's used for engines. I know that one US tank had Cadillac 346 flathead V8's and Hydramatic, but don't know the model.

I'm also a Packard nut so I know not only the cars (and trucks), but about the PT boat engines, and Packard-Merlin aircraft engines, and the diesels used in PC's and PF's.

 

The Ford built Sherman used a 4 OHC V-8. It was called the GAA (can't remember the number, lost half my Sherman data when a worm got passed our firewall). There was a Hot Rod article a few months back that showed a guy putting one ina Torino or Mustang or something. It was like twice as tall as the nose of the car, but it looked pretty cool. The GAA 4-cam had like 800+ ponies, and gobs of torque. The Tank carried 300 gallons of gasoline, and got 100 miles on good terrain. Talk about a gas guzzler, 3 gallons per mile man. They used an industrial axle for the drive axle (in front) and turned the motor backwards and mated it to a 2 ton truck tranny and the driveline spun next to the driver. If it blew a u-joint, man what a mess that could be. I had a crap load of photos and specs, and info on the things. If you watch the 1984 James Garner movie Tank, it is a Ford Sherman in the movie for most of the shots. I want one soooo bad. You should of seen the look on DMV's faces when I asked them about registering one as an antique...They thought I was crazy, but I found a loop hole that makes them legal to run on the street in Oregon. The police thought I was a little crazy when I called and asked about local laws concerning owning a tank as well. I had the opportunity to buy one a few years back, but I didn't have a place to put it that I wouldn't get in trouble. You can find them every so often partially restored with an average of $75,000 to $150,000. The funny part is, I had the banker convinced that it was a good reason for a loan (before our credit tanked).

 

Gasoline powered, didn't know that refered to Sherman's but a few lines from the film Patton should have clued me in.
Patton says to Bradley: I warned them about the tanks.

Bradley to Patton: Yes. The men call them Purple Heart Boxes. One hit...the gasoline explodes.



Tanks for the info.

 

That's a good one. Should of figured something like this would happen.....lol
