Looks as though unless I luck onto the bell of an optioned truck I will stay with the t-98 if the donar diffs agree gearing wise.Sat, 27 Feb 2010 04:25:04 GMT63 Red Stake Bedhttp://www.y-blocksforever.com/forums/Topic39325-3-1.aspxFrom what I've been told, the New Process was an option in 1964 (maybe 63 also). It requires a special bellhousing. </P><P>The bellhousing in the picture you posted is for a 3-speed truck. The T-98 4-speed used a different bell. The NP is another style.Thu, 25 Feb 2010 20:17:45 GMTJohn Mummerthttp://www.y-blocksforever.com/forums/Topic39325-3-1.aspxThere are at least two different patterns for the trucks.Sat, 20 Feb 2010 20:34:34 GMTcharliemccraneyhttp://www.y-blocksforever.com/forums/Topic39325-3-1.aspxGlanced at the t-98 bolt layout while under the black rat today, &amp; noticed that the NP 435 that I picked up has the 4 bolts in a alomost the same layout on each side. The t-98 has two that are close together top to bottom on the passenger side.<P>Looks almost like the bell would need the same mods as it would for a t-5. Hardly worth it, as I would rather have the t-5 if I am going to mod the bell.</P><P>Can anyone specify if there are multiple truck bells with different bolt patters?</P><P>This pic from John's site is of a different bell than the one I have in the truck. I have a second one laying around that I need to verify if it is like the one pictured here or if it is like the one currently on the f-250 black rat.</P><P><IMG alt="trkt-5.jpg (130947 bytes)" src="http://www.ford-y-block.com/trkt-5.jpg" width=465 height=369></P><P>Btw, here's some pics of the trucks in the garage.

When I got my 600 the bell had been torched for clearance,,,it had cracked &amp; had to replace it. now have a Clark OD 5 speed.Sat, 20 Feb 2010 06:03:27 GMTPark Olsonhttp://www.y-blocksforever.com/forums/Topic39325-3-1.aspxA little help here fellas.Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:24:22 GMT63 Red Stake Bedhttp://www.y-blocksforever.com/forums/Topic39325-3-1.aspxWill a NP 435 4 speed truck trans bolt up to a 63 truck bell?Sun, 07 Feb 2010 22:59:31 GMT63 Red Stake Bed
