classic ford truck question?

depends on the front axle used in the conversion. I am not positive, but the 4x4s from that era were conversions, usually from Marmon Harrington. NAPCO might have done some too, but I think they were mostly Chevy conversions. If it is a Dana axle, might be easier to add the disc brake parts. Obscure axle, replace with a modern unit.

A 5 speed would not be too hard, modern trans and transfer case would be the easiest, depending on the motor in the truck right now. Most of the newer 5 speeds have the bellhousing cast on in one piece. The older motors used a different pattern than the newer engines. A modern trans and transfer case would be nice, I would think.

The only problem with the 5 speed is finding a adaptor for the 292 Y block,I believe the 292 was a MEL series engine and would I believe be difficult to match up to a newer modern transmission,as far as a front axle the choices are limitless any Dana axle could be used if you are able to fabricate the brackets and this would be simple if the truck is a leaf spring front axle truck.

I think a T5 should work with your truck. Not sure about the bolt pattern, but here's a truck transmission guide.
