5 speed question

I am thinking of purchasing a 5 speed from a 1990, 3/4 ton , 2 wheel drive, attached to a 351. I have not seen it yet.
Can any one tell me what Tran. model it likely to be? Also, would it be a good
tran. for my 48 f1 street rod?

It will be a heavy duty ZF transmission. Better suited for a towing rig than a street rod, in my opinion. Ultra low first and reverse gears.

Street Rod? Think T5 in the later, stronger versions. A ZF would be miserable for this, but desireable for a truck application. Maybe you buy and horse trade.....

Good luck.
