If your looking @ transmissions, I would strongly recomend reading Mac Van Pelt's (Ins and outs of early ford transmissions). Vern Tardells booklet #2 ford transmission service and repair is another good resource.
After reading both books cover to cover, you will know why those tranny's are selling on ebay and know what to look for when buying one.
Look for a 78 series case from a light-duty three-speed 39-50 truck, plus a complete 42-48 tranny for the internals. The pickup case has a thicker bottom under the relief and is stronger than the pass. car case.
I wish my rebuild parts were only $500.00, but I did have to get a new cluster, and other higher priced parts. It had a rough life and now on a fresh second chance.
