'65 442 F-85 Deluxe that came from the factory
with a "three on the tree" manual 3 speed FORD transmission. In
'65 through '66 or '67, GM did not have a heavy duty 3 speed manual
transmission to use in the 442 option, so they used Ford HD transmissions
and special drilled the GM bell housing and used special yoke on the drive
shaft. I still have the original bell housing with the Ford transmission
bolted to it and plan to donate it to the Olds Heritage Center Museum
