Did you have any trouble getting the C6 bell housing past the front cross member that is riveted in?

Yes i did.... i ended up having to take it out. Im sure if the motor was pulled and trans was installed as a whole it wouldnt have been an issueMichelle wrote:Did you have any trouble getting the C6 bell housing past the front cross member that is riveted in?
Re: my 66 f100
I figured as much. I am getting ready to do the same thing. I kinda wish I had bought a FMX with a detachable bell housing. I think I could have made with that set up, but the C6 presented it self and I couldn't pass it up.

Re: my 66 f100
Btw you need to move your trans cooler to Infront of your radiator or you might as well not run it at all. You do not want to heat up your trans cooler from the radiator heat!!!!!

Not much of an update but dropping my driveshaft to be done
Re: my 66 f100
Trans coolers are NEVER to be placed behind the radiator!!! Trust me I do this for a living!! You never want your cooler to be heated you always want the fluid to be cooled as much as possible.

Carpet looks good!
66redrideri just installed a carpet in mine. I cut a straight line north of the steering column and will use tape on the underside to hold it together when I'm done. You won't be able to see the cut when done.
Used a sharp razor knife and a scribe poking from below to locate holes.

Re: my 66 f100
Carpet is fully in place, driveshaft is in but shifter is another issue. Was moving along with the install until i noticed a part on the shifter was riveted in place wrong so it will have to go back to be replaced

Re: my 66 f100
I do not think these trucks came with the safety and reverse switches. They did not have backup lights. I do not recall what transmission you are using. Some c-6's came with the switch at the shift arm on the transmission itself. Most were on the column. You might want to take a look at later ford trucks and see how they did this.
