I have a 47 3 speed that I was hoping to keep for a future project but my 37 transmission is in need of some help.
I will have to rob the shift tower from my 52 light truck transmission for the wider shifter forks.
This will be a budget swap.
If I understand correctly all the internal parts from the 47 should fit the 37 case. I think I have to check for clearance in the bottom front of the 37 case where there might be a raise boss.
I have Vern Tardels Ford transmission service and repair. I went over Mac’s od transmission rebuild. I think I’m ready to tackle the swap.
I’m hoping some of you guys might remember earlier threads that will be helpful.

I’ll post some pictures later today.
