Thinking about options today.

So if my engine runs but the transmission is toast, I either need to look for another case (the gearset is probably OK), or look at other transmission options. I have known for a while that the AA bellhousing is the ticket for putting a T-5 in a Model A. If I understand correctly I should not even need to convert the truck to open drive to do this because there is already an open shaft between the transmission and the torque tube.

If the engine is toast but the transmission is good, I may put the running banger from my other A in this truck and then put my flathead V8 in that car because I have a 1937 Ford transmission ready to go for that.

If both are toast, I'll probably put the V8 in it with the truck transmission it already has. Is this as straightforward as it is in a Model A? Same stuff?

For what wood costs I may do the whole cab structure in steel except the top bows... just in a way that I can disguise it. I am not much of a woodworker and I know the wood kits are never a direct fit anyway.
