89bronc · 04-07-2005, 06:33 PM

i wasnt sure if a newer one would work or not

axaviere · 04-07-2005, 06:56 PM

newer years had the box inside the frame i think. ours go outside the frame

Frames were wider on the 1980's and up. Ax is right.

I have taken PS boxes off of earlier F-150's that fit as well.

You should be able to use one from 73 to 79 F-150 or 78-79 Bronco. You cannot use a newer one or F-250 gear box. I wouldn't reccomend getting a used one. It will most likely be worn out anyway. You can get a rebuilt one for $100 to $150 at your local parts store with a lifetime warranty.

locally they are $249 rebuilt + core. rebuild kits are $30
