closed to open drive transmission

[john mullen]

what is involved in converting a 1940 ford truck 3 speed top loader transmission to open drive ??..I have a 1940 ****** and want to use it in a 48 to 52 f1 what's needed to change it over ???

Output shaft, and rear mount/ bearing/seal retainer are the main differences.

Be careful. The output shaft from a 1942-1950 Ford pickup light duty 3-speed will do the conversion. An output shaft from a 1951-1952 Ford pickup light duty 3-speed WILL NOT. The low gear splines on the 1951-2 shaft were changed making it necessary to keep all the gears together.

Here are the pieces you'll need. DD

The shaft and trans mount are on Epay now.
