I need to know more about those AOD transmissions..We have the Aussie derivative down here,and while they work well,they are also computer controlled,which I thought the American AOD was..or are the later models[late 90s up] electronic..I would like to put one in my F100,but no one down here seems to know anything about them,,and those who do,dont like them...As far as the steering goes,my engineer friend,who did my conversion,cut the box off the F100 column,formed a bigger section at the bottom of the column for a bearing,and splined the F100 shaft to suit the Toyota coupling,so I could keep the old F100 column,wheel etc,for appearance..A/C??we just wind the windows down,or up ,as the case may be...
