manual tranny swap.

[peanutman]

Some of you guys are familiar with my problem. I have a t85-n tranny in a 70 long bed that is shot and can't find all the parts i need to fix. can find all but cluster gear and iv'e searched for months
Anyway i have found a donor 67 ford truck with a plain 3 speed and it has a 6 cylinder engine. My truck has a 302. Do yall see any swap problems between the two.
The donor truck has all i need i think, tranny, drive shaft and shift linkages and possibly speedo cable or at least speedo gear.
Any advice would help, am i going to have bolt up issues

should work.. just make sure to get the parts truck as a whole that way you can swamp anything you need

i know the bell housing pattern is the same as well

Sadly I have heard thats what is no longer available.

I do know of a couple of fairlanes that have the od in them.

Not sure what shape they are in but I could check for ya if ya want.
