Tying a little line to the end of the wires before you pull them out, gives you something to tie them back on, and pull them thru the little hole. Just a suggestions for next time. Thank you for sharing.
You’re 100% right. That’s how I did it in my own f100 I didn’t need to on this one. But yes that is a much easier way to do it if you’ve never done it before.
@living in a desert I did the same thing, until I remember how electricians pull new wire in construction. No doubt we learn thru mistakes (or doing the things the hard way).
There will always be room for original stock parts .. and that said what flies for him won't hold butter for you. I hold soft spots for the original, but I have always fabbed my own when it came to building bullet proof tripel sticks for drag racing style. Just touch and wala boom they hit with a vengeance into next gear no clutch necessary cause it was split second and you had to listen sharp to hear rpms to change. ... five second quarter miles ate buck fifty speeds. I like you are fixing galaxie but hope that the truck gets a lot of love on the way. It may stretch things thing... hope it ain't top roman/LOL. I hear catsup makes the best tomato soup
I have to agree I daily a 77 with a column shift. Have been looking at either doing the Hurst floor shift conversion or outright swapping in a 4 speed. A unique experience, but one that gets old
That pickup would have come with a 240, I6, did he use that, or upgrade to the 300? I've got to say, the 300 is one powerful engine. Good job on the shifter/collar replacement. It's a pain in the ass, but, that's the only way to do it.
You cant beat a 3 on tree shift if your getting stuck 1st and reverse are up and down from each other allowing you to get a rock going when your getting stuck.
Can anyone give me some advice? I have a 1969 F250 with a 3 speed on the column. I can’t drive a manual.. everyone keeps telling me these old classic trucks are not good for learning how to drive stick shift and that I should swap it out for an automatic for now.
All these guys are right. It takes a good month to get good and confident with a stick. But in an older vehicle everything is mechanical. And you feel everything so you know what the trucks doing. I was the only guy out of 1500 people in my entire high school that had a 3 on the tree. They’re unique. And get a lot of commentary at car shows. Anyone and everyone has an auto. Stay original. Plus if you’re like me and get bored of it you can swap to a five speed and get some speed out of the thing.
Omg Craig again I apologize for my comment and stuff didn’t realize it was your friends truck getting a 3 speed again but the thumb nail looks so much like your truck
Could be he wants it original. It will out pull the 302. A bud had an 1989 F150 4x4 with the 300 I6 multi port injection, 4 speed. It rolled on better than a 5.0
column shift are u nuts they suck they go bad quick hop ur going all new and there slow on the shift and they like to mess up if shift it fast plus if u decide to sell it most people will not touch it . i build a 66 with a 63 t bird 390 tri power 400 hp stock with the cast iron auto out of the t bird never really ever drove it i traded for a 66 gto don't know were u live but i have a sh ton of parts for 64 to 79 fords and chevy's pu have a few muscle cars for projects i get most rigs for free right now i'm working on a 54 ford with no rust good clean body still has the flat head motor in it no box some one stole it that is y there giving it to me but i know were a good box is in my back yard have 2 chevy cabs with no rust for a 68 now that is hard to find i'm building a 68 chevy bad ass 454 stroker i can get 390 all day long cheap mite be able to get a roller 390 for like 500 to 1000 he wont budge i tried to get for a 125 honda all most got it only had 100 in bike but i got a 65 chevy pu for 100 bucks from him with no rust needs work to run 283 4 speed
Really all that time money spent and you go back to a three speed that just threw me off now I liked it 5 speed I don’t know what to say any more man it’s disappointing that’ u changed transmission again
