Thanks to all that replied, this is super helpfil. Navigating the restoration has been an interesting process to say the least haha
 
3 speed manual sitting behind a base 2bbl 272. I've been looking to get my hands on a 3 speed OD transmission and do a swap, though.
 
cdgray899, You will love your stock OD. Two things to remember. Change the rear end to match Normal is around 3.89 to 1 . The other is hook up all the controls! the passing gear is awesome with a Y block and dual pipes. Did tis on my 55 vicky and my 55 bird.
 
The '55 style backup lights were a dealer installed option. Also used on '56 except Fairlane and Third models. I like the'56 style better and have them on my'55.
 
I installed an OD in my '55 Ford in '56, never changed the rear at all and ran it for 8 yrs with great satisfaction.
 
It takes two kits, the 1956 numbers are FDH-15582~C which is the parts that bolt to the steering column and FDR-15499-A and that is the tail light kit.
 
Is the switch and hardware to attach it to the column the same for a 3 on the tree or Fordomatic? Right now I have mine wired up on a toggle switch under the dash.
 
I have the original installation instructions that came with the kits I purchased and used on my 55 ford custom line. The instruction sheet was produced by the ford engineering group in Dearborn and dated 6- 15- 55.

... hmmpf ... :eek:

Now let me ask you a question. Is it possible to scan the sheet and post it here? I think I have a copy but I will never find it.
