[Tim S.]

Can some one provide me with pics of a properly restored 63 T-10? I am looking for finshes, bolt finshes, bolt head, etc. You know the drill

Thanks,

Tim

Tim,
Here is pic of unrestored April 63 T10. Expect for some gentle cleaning trans is untouched. Main body case was bright aluminum. Tailshaft and side cover had more of a matte finish. Tailshaft looks to have been blasted when produced. 1/2 and 7/16 case bolts TR Grade 5, side cover UR Grade 5 and drain/fill plugs were all black phosphate. Speedo cable bolt and clip were both zinc/cad. Bolt head indent/captured lock washer, three dots triangular pattern marking.

Just out of simple curiosity, why do people ALWAYS call the tranny tail HOUSING (or more correctly, extension housing) a tail shaft??????????????
It is NOT, repeat, NOT a shaft--------------------it is a housing!

Here is a SHAFT.


Here is a tail (extension) housing.
