Tailpieces Interchangeable On 3-Speed Manual?

I've been looking around for replacements for my tranny on my 68 F100, and most of them have much longer tailpieces than mine. Is it as simple as unbolting a long one and rebolting the short one, or are there more steps?

No, The output shaft has to be changed too.

Does that mean a total dissassembly, gears and all?

Yes. If your gonna go that far, why not just make a good one out of the
two that fits?

Looks like that's probably what I'll do. Thanks.

Remember a coarse file and some JB weld can go a long way...
