Hello all,
I have a 1950 stock F 2 flathead V8 with 4 spd straight cut gears. It was our family farm truck and got jammed around too much I'm afraid. It just does not want to down shift - double, triple clutch no matter. What year did 4 spd synchro trannys come out and will it bolt up to existing clutch housing? What are they named? I really want to hang on to this truck and be able to drive in traffic.

Other question: can I take the body off and put it on (1980s or later) F 250 chassis with modern engine and brakes etc? How much $$$ and grief?

Thank you!
