F150 trans pictures

[Ol' Ron]

Lets take a long look at this type of modification. Why?? Wel the only thing this transmission offers is and OD. So what other trans missions or rear ends offer an OD and how much does it cost to install them? Mitchael? Columbia? Is the end result better? Well the Mitchael and Columbia, both use an early Ford rear axle, which is pretty obsolete, by today's standards, including the brakes. Change the rear end to something more modern? Well the problem here is: Wheel bolt pattern. The early fords use the wide 5 or the 5 on 5 1/2 and the only place you can find these in quanity is the Ford 9", which is very heavy and in a light road car, rides like a truck. Or you could use a Spicer 44 5 on 4 1/2 and convert the front to disk brakes.
All this is called the domino affect. Sometimes a week end job turns into a lifetime effort. That's what I did. Hope to be on the road in a few more years, after I mortgagee the house.
