I have a 53 f100 with 8ba flathead v8 and column mounted 3 speed. Trying to find the best option to add OD. I have a spare tranny/ od from a 1950 ford sitting around but it has a shorter and smaller diameter input shaft. Would it be feasible to swap the input shafts? I also have a spare 55 ford trans case with correct holes for overdrive, if I rebuilt my current trans into that case, would it be poss to bolt the OD unit to it? I already have a spare driveshaft ready to cut down. Any thoughts?
