There were at least two different aftermarket kits sold in the 1950's to convert a Ford 800 hundred series and the later 801 series with a MFWD.

They also made their own mounting and chain driven gearbox as part of their kit. Their are a few pictures of Elenco equipped Fords in the photo section of this site. There are very few pictures of Fords with the Sherman Napco conversion and they are more uncommon than an Elenco conversion.
