Post Re: transmission output seal replacement - F100 1955

The perimeter of the seal remains in place and will be hard to pry out.

I purchased a replacement seal; however, it pales in comparison to the original. It is a much simpler rubber seal. Is this an acceptable replacement for the original more robust seal? What am I missing - any secrets to replacing this output seal? Suggestions? Where might I find a replacement? Ford part number is 7052.

Seeking wisdom TQ
Before we go any further, how is the condition of the rear tail-shaft bushing?

Does it allow the output shaft to wallow out the seal? Condition of DS yoke?
