Default Re: Overdrive Transmission in a 1952 F1

I finished cleaning up, painting and bolting in the transmission today. I think everything on the transmission and overdrive is good. I'm looking for a 16 spline slip yoke and a new modern seal for the back. There was a lot of dirt in the overdrive since it was open at the back end but it cleaned up nicely. It is an R10.

There does seem to be a problem with the clutch. I used the truck pressure plate and throwout bearing and made a sleeve to fit it on the car bellhousing clutch arms. I bought a new clutch plate to fit the transmission - 1" 10 spline. I have no idea why I cannot move the clutch with a wrench so it's back to the drawing board. Maybe I need to use more force but I'm scared of breaking things.

I'm still looking for a side shift steering column and a clutch pedal. I found what appears to be a 1953 Ford sedan (correct me if I'm wrong) at a local wrecking yard. It has a side shift steering column. It may have a useable clutch pedal but I forgot to check when I was there last week. This is one of those yards where you take out your own parts. This is where I got my motor mounts and cross member almost two years ago. Does anyone know if a car steering column will work in a pickup?
