Re: What is a compatible transmission for 1953 F100
Welcome to another truck guy here at Fordbarn. I will assume you aren't going for strictly original options since you asked. Here's my best answer though. A borg-warner T5 5sp overdrive manual box from a chevy S10. I think it was in 1993 they improved the T5 with better bearings and synchros. With those updates it's called a WC version for 'world class'. I had a stock 3 speed in my '47 half ton for 8 years and installed the T5 2 years ago. You can find the adapter bellhousing quite easily. Totally different driving experience. End of rant.
