Overdrive for 85 Ford 1 ton?
512Fairlane January 26th 2011, 11:07 pm
Is there a good way to add overdrive to an 85 Ford 1 ton, 460, 4 speed? Found a great deal on a super clean 1 ton dually but I'm assuming gas mileage was crap back then so looking for ways to improve.

If you could find a used gear vendors would be easiest. A friend of mine bought an old used class c for $1500 that had one, took the overdrive off of the C6 and resold it for $1500. That is such a good deal you would think it happened to Blake.

Thanks. I didn't realize they had the E40D behind them.

Didn't the E4OD start in 1988 ?
