This 1960 f100 is all original and came with a 292 and auto trans that im not sure if its a fordomatic or cruiseomatic. Well the motor was junk so I picked up another y block that I believe to be a 292 aswell. I can get the numbers off it so maybe somebody here can run them for me? Along with the trans. Well I will be using the original trans that has this water cooler on the side. One of the water hoses goes up and over the bellhousing to a "t" and goes to both the right and left side of the motor block. Then the other water hose is very long and is not hooked up. Im not sure if it goes to the water pump? If so there are two places that can be used on it. Or maybe the intake? Where do my heater hoses hook up to? I have never had one of these transmissions with a cooer like this. Just the air cooled fordomatics. I will post some pictures. I hope somebody here can help me out. Im trying to get this truck out of my garage and back onto the street.

Ok here are some pics for you guys:

If you look at the picture on the left side of the crank pulley of the motor there is a big rubber hose. That is coming from the outer trans cooler fitting.

In this pic you can see that the inner hose goes to the fitting that splits and ges to both sides of the block. The outer hose goes to the front of the motor and im not too sure of where it hooks up to. The radiator doesnt have a cooler on the bottom. This truck is all original.

This picture is a hard line coming from a fitting right under the top bolt that bolts trans to bellhousing on passenger side

What goes to the left and right fittings on the water pump?

As you can see how long the hose is from the trans

Im not sure if you can see it but there is a hard line coming up from the trans and its right behing the wire and it is bolted to the drivers side head. its not connected to anything up there. Is it a breather? or something else? It has like a weird fitting on it

This is where the line is bolted to the head

Here is the fitting. Kind of hard to see.

Here is the tag on trans

Here are the numbers on the case on drivers side where tag is located

Somebody must know something about this trans or is using the same set up.

The tube you thought may be a breather is where the transmission dipstick goes. On the water pump the left outlet is normally for heater and the right one is where the power steering bracket mounts. It has a very large bolt to secure. If I understand you correctly you say the transmission is connected to the block cooling passages? I've never seen a trans cooler that ran through the engine they are usually seperate coolers or built in the bottom of the radiator. If it is using the engine to provide cooling perhaps the long rubber hose fits on the right side of the water pump. Is it long enough? It would be clearer after a good degreasing or steam cleaning.

No...I kow where the filler tube is. This hard line is definately not for that. Well im not running power steering.

OK. First, Please pressure wash that thing.

The answer is going to be the same. You will need a stand alone transmission cooler since you do not want to get a radiator with a transmission cooler in the bottom.

The cooler your Ford has is 50 years old and was marginal when new. The transmission fluid flows through the inside of that cooler while engine WATER flows in, around and out of the cooler. No they do not mix.

An old timer/friend came in and said it will work fine and to keep it. Im not towing or racing the thing. Just putting around town. He said the longer hose will hook up to water pump.

So nobody seems to know anything about this trans?

Sorry, but what EXACTLY is your question?

Well the thing is...this truck came stock with a water cooler/trans cooler on the trans. I am trying to locate somebody hear near my are in california to clean it out and test it. Also I was told the inner in or outlet on the cooler closest to the trans goes to the block of the motor and its quite obvious that it does. The outer water in or outlet has a long hose on it which goes to the front of the motor. I was told it goes to the water pump. If you are standing infront of the motor that it goes in the right side of the water pump where the power steering would hook up if I had it. Then either one of the hoses for the heater would go on the other side then the last heater hose would go in the port on the intake closest to the water pump. Correct?
