i need a third pedal
ive had my automatic for a while now and the thing i miss the most about my other truck is the third pedal so i was wondering how hard it would be to do a transmition swap on a 93 f150, by the way would i be able to use the same transfer case or drive shafts
thanks jz

Very popular swap, if you do some searching you will find plenty of info. For starters though, you can retain your current t-case and shafts. Make sure you get a 4wd 5spd, as it's not easy to turn a 2wd transmission into a 4wd transmission.

x2 what Syco said. :)
I bought an F250 parts truck to do the same thing to a Bronco.
The pedal lever won't just add into the pedal assembly you have already. :/
(it's a Ford thing;)
The brake pedal pad was little so I swapped that to the F250's lever...

Are you wanting a transmission with a granny gear, so you can skip 1st? :)
If so, you'll have to get a ZF out of an F250 or F350.
That big ol' piece of crap is finally out of there! :)
Just did this today...

The plan is to weigh it tomorrow.
5 speed ZF weighs ~145 pounds.
T18 with a cast iron bell housing weighs ~182 pounds.
1356E weighs ~80 pounds.

ps- I need a rubber pad for my new clutch pedal ;)
pps- Measured some stuff and put the cross member from the F250
into the Bronco and found holes in the frame, ready and waiting! :)

Reuse of the driveshafts depends on the trans you have in your truck currently. C-6s and AODs were 4" shorter than the M5OD and ZF5 while the E4OD was 3 inches longer than the 5spds. The 4spds (NP435 and T18) though use the same driveshafts as the C-6/AOD.

A drained E4OD weighs ~230 pounds.
Add 4 gallons of ATF and lines and 260 pounds isn't too far off.
5 speed ZF weighs ~145 pounds but add 55 pounds for the flywheel,
clutch disc, pressure plate and extra pedal... is about 200 pounds. :)
So not that much of a total difference really but working on them there
is, because the manual comes out in pieces it's easier to work with, IMO.
~150# T18 with a cast iron bell housing weighs ~182# +55# = ~237#.
1356E weighs ~80 pounds.
