    Can anyone identify this old Speed Gems adapter? IMG_9377.jpeg att.gdxrV7oXn9c3Bf2XQYa5wYdwTZYc80W7mXbnPmfKJvs.jpeg att.-aMQbTG1RnnoL6zakjdTgTD6yGX8sMh0wp1GueRxk3I.jpeg

    I wonder about this. It says "SG 103 is a Ford/Merc 332-390 58' -66' to Ford truck 5 speed 53' - 66'." It seems strange to me that Ford itself wouldn't have made that bellhousing. If not, it seems like an extremely odd application to "tool up" for. Certainly not a "Speed Gem":D.

    Tubman, you are right to wonder. Ford built a ton of medium duty trucks with FE's / FT's backed by a Clark or Fuller 5 speed. Lots of factory bellhousings available, no reason for Speed Gems to make an aluminum one, unless they were suppling them to Ford directly.

    Looks like the same pattern as the Speed Gems IronFord posted, and with the typical Vander Haag's rattle can overhaul. I bet the blue one will attract a magnet through....
