Need stock 3 speed for 144cu in Econoline

[olgraybeard]

Well I finally got to do a maiden run in my 63 econoline pickup and found out I have no 2nd gear, so does anyone have a good stock 3 speed for a econoline kicking around. I'll have to take another look but I pretty sure these are different than the cars and Rancheros (no tailshaft) and trans body is about twice as long.
And of course the radiator leaks like a sieve. But the engine runs good, electrical works now Brakes work but all the lines have to be replaced. One step forward . . .

Looked at it again today trans body looks the same as car/Ranchero but the tailshaft is allot shorter (about 15" shorter) and they call the tailshaft a extension shaft. So it would be allot easier if I can find another Econoline transmission

Not sure what radiator fits but I have a used 2 row out of my 65 convertible that is available. It didn't leak or anything I just went with a 3 row....seemed to work fine. If you need it you can have it...for free. I am in the Buckley/Enumclaw area if you are interested.

Hal, radiator in the Econoline is 18" wide x 20" tall how big is yours. I'm very interested if it is small enough.

Looks like it might be a fit....I believe it is a standard radiator for the falcon and mustang.
It is 18" wide measured across where the actual core is...not including the flange where it would be mounted.
It is 20" tall if I measure from the bottom of the radiator to the top of the inlet....the dome part is a little taller.

Both the inlet and outlet is on the passenger side.

It is just an old radiator but didn't leak or anything. My car runs cool even with the two row....I just wanted a 3 row and picked up on pretty cheap.

It is your if you want it....would be nice to be put to use verses me just scrapping it.

PM me if you want more information.
