Re: Why do Ford Diesel Vans come with automatic transmisssions only and not manual/clutch versions?

hey guys,

I'm new on the Forum because I never knew it existed here until a few days ago.

I'd just like to add that I know Ford made straight drive vans until around 88-89. I think they were four speeds, but I've never seen one myself. I'm just posting here to let you know that I've been looking to switch the body on my 86 Quigley 351W C-6 Dana 44 and try to swap it over to a Dana 60 diesel 6-spd straight drive while the body's off (the last owner abused it and I mainly bought it for the chassis anyway).

Less desirable would be build the 351 or go 460, but I'd prefer a diesel. If anyone has ANY info, I'd REALLY appreciate it. I can't find anything about straight drives anywhere.

Thanks for all the great posts.

J

PS - I can't get on www.fordcummins.com to find out about the swap. Anybody know anything about them?
