'63 Ford Cabover

My 1963 Cabover as i found it

If all else fails try Advance Adapters for a custom made one off.

as frank said the 300 6cyl is the same bolt patern as the 351w. look for a 65 or newer, 500-600-650 with a 300 6cyl and check if that bell will work. your better off if you can find one with mounts on the bell.

I live in Alberta, I don't know about BC but here it really is that easy, I have done it before. Besides as I said I have the Vin from the frame and already have a legal bill of sale from the junk yard where i bought it. Other times i have been given cars just for parts or whatever and i have just written up a bill of sale and got a family member to sign it so i could put insurance on it to drive it home, I have never had a problem.

63: I don't know what Canadian province you live in, but without a VIN tag & no registration, I doubt that it's as straight forward as you say to get it transferred, if you live say, in British Columbia. A friend of mine just went thru a great todo trying to get a 40 Ford registered, that didn't have a VIN #. Much time, paper work, & $300 later it got done..

It is the box cab, no hood, the cab flips down over the motor which is mostly under the back of the cab. Sorry i haven't had time to put the pics on here yet but will soon.

Is this one the model with the box looking cab or the one that resembles a 61 to 66 p/u but with a very short hood and the motor half way under the floor.

With a 292?, 4speed, 6 lug Budd wheels you probably have a 600, about 21000 gross wt.

When thinking transmissions, you have got to have something compatible with the "out around the barn" shift arrangement on those trucks.

Royce,

      The 240/300's did use a SBF Bellhousing bolt pattern.
