Description
In this episode of Dentside Depot, Aaron swaps a ZF5 transmission into a 1979 Ford F250 Crew Cab pickup. The 4x4 trucks never came equipped from the factory with an overdrive transmission and this can be a relatively inexpensive major upgrade for one of these classic Fords. Lets get her done!

Please note this mount is intended for a factory transmission. For this application, you may need to shim the transmission up between the mount and the bottom of the case roughly 1/4" for the transfer case to fit and obtain the correct driveline angle. Slight trimming of the back of the mount (rear left position) may also be required.
