    Hi vanners,
    I'm overhaulin' my 3.03 tranny for my '65 heavy duty. Dissambled it, checked the gears and bearings, everthings fine. I ordered a gasket and seal kit for the regular 3.03 Ford trannys but the output seal doesn't fit. The special Econoline tail housings seem to have a bigger seal than the other Ford 3 speeds.
    Now I like to know where to get this extension housing oil seal. Good American quality prefered. I already checked Macs, CG and Rockauto.
    Thank you all and greetings from Germany

    Not sure but you may check for the seal using a truck with the 3.03 like f100

That seal -should have a # on it!! here - all we do is get to a bearing & seal house -yet in german land -im sure you likley have same there too! cheers

    Thank you all.
    Seth, I didn't knew what type the F100 driveshaft is but it seems to be the same like our vans, also with the slip yoke.

    Cali2chitown, thanks for the number. I think I try that part. I'm going to Cali in october and will visit a Napa shop then.

    Twinpilot, I tried ebay.com but I failed. The one I got was to small. The one I removed just had the fomoco logo on it. It was hard like a rock and when I pulled it it broke into a thousend pieces. The problem here in german land is the metric system, you can't get American standard parts on every corner.

    And thanks, Mike, for the adress, I put it on my list for the next tranny job.
