Re: 50 Ford overdrive trans vs Mercury
Totally different transmissions. The '49-'64 Ford trans are narrow 4-bolt B/W pattern while the '49-'50(and some early '51) Mercurys are carry-over round pattern like the '32-'48 F/M transmissions. The Merc trans will fit your '50 but would require the Merc or truck 3" 1/2 bell, complete clutch linkage re-work, along with possible drive shaft, rear trans mount and shift linkage mods.
