Newbie Rebuilding an 80 F150

I just picked up an old farm truck that has been hillbillied and I'm working on restoring it to as close to "new" as possible. The in-line 6 cylinder was replaced with a 289 but the original 4 speed manual trans and transfer case are there. Looking to replace the 4 speed with a 5 speed and put in a new transfer case since both are leaking like sieve. Any one that can point me in the right direction would be appreciated, I can disassemble with the best and can "plug and play " replace parts, anything outside that is outside my realm of expertise.

I don't think you will find a "plug and play" 5 speed.

Wire/Connector ID





Can anyone tell me what this connector powers? It is about 12" back from the main connector for the rear end harness. It has both purple with white striped wires. The harness runs from the engine compartment back, terminating at the harness for the tail lights. Original part# E0TZ-14405-E. My truck was made in Canada if there is a difference from US plant assembled.
