Going Back To a Three Speed?..

[@guillermonieri4203]

Tying a little line to the end of the wires before you pull them out, gives you something to tie them back on, and pull them thru the little hole. Just a suggestions for next time. Thank you for sharing.

[@Thecraig909]

You’re 100% right. That’s how I did it in my own f100 I didn’t need to on this one. But yes that is a much easier way to do it if you’ve never done it before.

[@guillermonieri4203]

@living in a desert I did the same thing, until I remember how electricians pull new wire in construction. No doubt we learn thru mistakes (or doing the things the hard way).

[@guillermonieri4203]

The 3 on the tree driving experience is unique I love shifting anyway, a 3 speed column shift is a driving experience all it's own.

[@Frankensteins_Highboy]

I have to agree I daily a 77 with a column shift. Have been looking at either doing the Hurst floor shift conversion or outright swapping in a 4 speed. A unique experience, but one that gets old

[@brianmac3194]

Awesome video look like you have lot of fun work on trucks

[@GrumpyMike1981]

Do you guys still have the floor shifter and linkages? If so, I’d buy it from you.

[@wavyybased1820]

Can anyone give me some advice? I have a 1969 F250 with a 3 speed on the column. I can’t drive a manual.. everyone keeps telling me these old classic trucks are not good for learning how to drive stick shift and that I should swap it out for an automatic for now.

[@brianpardee1281]

Just drive the thing in a parking lot till youre comfortable and have fun fuck swapping an auto

[@Acostamedia02]

Old trucks are perfect to learn manual in

[@Acostamedia02]

Wavyy Based just take your time when learning

[@Thecraig909]

All these guys are right. It takes a good month to get good and confident with a stick. But in an older vehicle everything is mechanical. And you feel everything so you know what the trucks doing. I was the only guy out of 1500 people in my entire high school that had a 3 on the tree. They’re unique. And get a lot of commentary at car shows. Anyone and everyone has an auto. Stay original. Plus if you’re like me and get bored of it you can swap to a five speed and get some speed out of the thing.

[@wavyybased1820]

I appreciate all the feedback you guys! Gives me a little more confidence that I can do it haha I will be keeping the 3 speed! 😎

[@2fast4u111]

I have a 63 ford f100 what do I need to do for a 3 speed floor conversion will the hurst 3 speed floor shifter kit work? Just wondering

[@israelcordova9005]

Hey where you bought the gearstick knobs 3 speed shift.

[@saskfarmerjr4130]

What song is that ?

[@morgansword]

There will always be room for original stock parts .. and that said what flies for him won't hold butter for you. I hold soft spots for the original, but I have always fabbed my own when it came to building bullet proof tripel sticks for drag racing style. Just touch and wala boom they hit with a vengeance into next gear no clutch necessary cause it was split second and you had to listen sharp to hear rpms to change. ... five second quarter miles ate buck fifty speeds. I like you are fixing galaxie but hope that the truck gets a lot of love on the way. It may stretch things thing... hope it ain't top roman/LOL. I hear catsup makes the best tomato soup

[@roberttaylor5999]

What does he want for the floor shifter? I have a 78 F100 302/3spd that a previous owner put a floor shifter in but now its wore out.

[@kennethmason7159]

Where to go with the three speed on the column specially if it comes from the factory that way

[@toddyager1245]

It’s funny to think I got to meet denis carpenter and got to work on his old houses ac system

[@sethlincicum1342]

Awesome video man

[@michaelcook768]

That pickup would have come with a 240, I6, did he use that, or upgrade to the 300? I've got to say, the 300 is one powerful engine. Good job on the shifter/collar replacement. It's a pain in the ass, but, that's the only way to do it.

[@ronwilson9202]

early broncos will be at cruzn grand aug 2nd, maybe see the 100s then.

[@davidl9964]

Did Xavier sell his 3 speed floor shifter? I'm in the market for a used one. '65 F100 390 swb

[@josephthornton110]

You cant beat a 3 on tree shift if your getting stuck 1st and reverse are up and down from each other allowing you to get a rock going when your getting stuck.

[@andrewstevenson5155]

not being rude but why a inline 6 do they have any benefit over the v8 or is it just preference and cost

[@brendonmanship8854]

Well in stock form an inline 6 will inherently make more torque than a v8 just becuase of the configuration. That and its kinda obscure.

[@michaelcook768]

Could be he wants it original. It will out pull the 302. A bud had an 1989 F150 4x4 with the 300 I6 multi port injection, 4 speed. It rolled on better than a 5.0

[@jerem0621]

Because stock is cool.

[@DeanFamilyAcres]

Oh how I wish a 5 speed was so easy on a FE. SBF has it made compared to FE in regards to aftermarket.

[@ryanlong5400]

Dean Family Acres modern drive line has everything you need to put a 5 speed on a fe motor

[@DeanFamilyAcres]

Ryan Long oh I know they do. It’s not overly complicated, but it’s $$$. SBF vs FE builds are different categories from a cost perspective.
