Below are some photos of the Sheridan F-150 OD transmission I recently installed. Keep in mind that I purchased only the tansmission from Tim Sheridan, not a kit. I specifically did not want to cut or modify the cross member. Also, if I or a future buyer wants to reverse the OD transmission and return to the original transmission set up, it is possible. Upon receipt of the transmission, I had to shorten the torque tube, drive shaft and radius rods, all approx 4 1/2 inches, working with a local one man machine shop. All the labor of the installation I did with the help of another shade tree mechanic. The first photo shows the transmission installed between the cross member and the "A" bell housing. Photo 2 shows the slight interference between a bottom bolt and the brake cross over shaft. Photo 3 shows how that interference was eliminated by altering the brake cross over shaft.
