maybe NumberDummy could answer
We are planning on putting a Ford-O-Matic in a 1964 W/292 engine. The question is did any Ford car have a similar gear shift lineage to fit in. We have the trans but no lineage from trans to lever for shifting. I hope I have explained this properly. I think trying to find a 64 truck lineage is like finding a needle in a haystack. Thanks for any help. Joe

No 1961/64 F100/250 with a 292 used a Ford-O-Matic transmission.
Finding linkage that will work with a F-O-M will be rather difficult...to say the least, because..
These trucks came with Cruise-O-Matic.
The only 1961/64 trucks to use Ford-O-Matic were 1961 F100's with the 223 I-6.

Thanks Guys for the answers. What if we put a cruise-o-matic in the 64 F100, is there any car of those years that would use the same shift lever and shaft on the column with the shift pattern dial ? Ford dealer parts books we have only go from 49 till 59 so have nothing to go by. Thanks for any help. Joe

The column is different: shift lever is different, shift collar is different, shift tube is different, manual control selector lever is different, the whole tamale is different.
You will need a Cruise-O from a 1961/64 F100/250 292, because the output shaft, extension housing, and how the trans is mounted is not the same as a car.
Cars have the rear engine (trans) mount located on the extension housing, trucks do not. The cars extension housing/output shaft are a different length.
