another good solution thanks ........the plot thickens.........

i fixed my post above (moved my comment up) he wants $150 for the old FORD 3 speeds (again, fair it seams) NOT a T5

thanks guys yeah, my head is swimming with "what do i do" 1. repair existing - find a trans shop to swap gears assuming i can locate is this cost actual make sense? 2. find a direct replacement 3. find an Overdrive Trans and swap in and deal with some modifications ......meeting a guy...

thanks guys yeah, my head is swimming with "what do i do" 1. repair existing - find a trans shop to swap gears assuming i can locate is this cost actual make sense? 2. find a direct replacement 3. find an Overdrive Trans and swap in and deal with some modifications or 4. the T5 swap...

it does not spin now that little bit is wedged in good, IF i get that out, should i be able to spin the trans by hand?

that's an interesting idea are there any build specs for this? i assume a drive shaft shortening. a car club also mentioned that - but, not sure hot to implement

Well, a big thank you to you guys for your insights After i pulled the side cover i discovered a chipped gear and bit of metal trapped between the gears below it so, i'd like to see if i can find another trans to swap in the truck is a '53 Panel - attached are photos what years will work...

I wish you did live closer I guess ill drain and remove the side cover Gotta start somewhere I guess Pulling side cover Is anything in side spring loaded etc?

thanks first time under the truck....not sure what position the levers want to be at my understanding is there are 3 positions for each can anyone tell from photo which way i might try to coax one?

So bringing home a new to me 1953 Ford F100 Panel....i made a terrible shift from first into (you guessed it) Reverse...the truck bucked and jerk before i could remedy my error. Had it towed home the shifter has no movement feels like stuck in R but truck stalls when clutch is out the driver...
