Not sure if the recent upgrade to PS and PB fits as being a drive train upgrade, but they rank right up there for me.

Not sure I would still have my truck if it didn't have those either.

Wide ratio T19 4 speed transmission and 3.0 diff gears. Now I use 1, 2, 3, and 4 gear and cruise about 2500 rpm @ 75 mph. :D It came out of a '85 F250 diesel so it's all original ford stuff, direct bolt on so I can still use my driveline and speedometer.

That would be a close ratio T19, not wide ratio.

Are you sure? It has a 4:1 first gear. I got the tranny that had the widest spread gears so I thought that would be considered a wide-ratio.

Drain plug for tranny pan. Best 2$ I've spent on the truck.
