If the donor truck had a 7.3 it is pretty straight forward. If it is a gasser it is a no go. The tranny for the 6.9-7.3 has to be just that, from a 6.9 or 7.3. The tranny from the early powerstrokes will work also. The clutch peddel, clutch master and slave cylinders can come from a gasser though.

Probably need add that both trucks need to have the same drive train 4X4 or 4X2. Either tranny will fit, but the tail shafts are different.
