Re: 66 toploader conversion

Dennis and Fordnut got it. I have done this swap several times with 67 and 68s and once with a 70 /68 (fella wanted mu Auto I wanted his Toploader, the onlything I had to get was the pedal). Always used same driveshafts, cross members etc, the only thing different for me was the starter, always used the same one.

This last time, my Toploader didnt have the duel mount holes so I had to go with the inline type mount.

One thing I did do different this time was the Cable Clutch, huge fan of that for now. Difficult if you want to run big tube headers, but for resto mods etc the cable is sweet. Does require different bell, fork, clutch/plate though.

Gydyup!
