2c, read the dip stick, If you don't have some sort of cooling, you can ruin the pump. An aftermarket tranny cooler can work nicely.

Now I'm confused. I'm doing the conversion on a '69 F100 with parts from a '77 F150. When robbing the donor truck, there was no sign of a cooler and both lines went directly to the pump. Was a cooler only used on the larger trucks? I noticed that the donor in this post was an F350.

sc I used a 76F100 for my 66F100. There was a metal tube line that came from the gear, and zig zaged back and forth along the chassis rail, like a refrigarator line and then up to the pump.
I can't make an arguement for it. I have only heard stories of burned up pumps, and the trucks did come with them.
