We had our Florence Merchants Car Show Today and more than four hundred entries showed up 320 preregistered. It's nice 'cause they only give door prizes for entry # drawings and no awards, no competition.

Re: Another Blue Chevy
Your truck is looking great. That's the kind of show I like. Not a contest, just a show. That panel is amazing. What was that, about a '30?

Nice Show & Shine !
Thanx for the pix, they're great .
As I age out I've discovered anything over 74 degrees F is too darn hot anymore, doggone it . Living in Southern California means I'm too hot 24/7 . |

Re: Another Blue Chevy
Whew ! I love and generally prefer the earlier, shorted, narrower step side rigs but that Task Force looks so nice ! .
Is it a '58 or '59 ? I forget how to tell them apart . I sold my 1955 Chevy tow truck close to 50 years ago and I still miss it dearly, it was maybe the third best truck I've ever owned . |
Re: Another Blue Chevy
That is a '59 , '58 has a tailfin on the fender side molding and the hood emblem is different. I like them all. ;)

Drove the truck to breakfast and stopped at Tractor Supply to pickup birdseed. Saw this '63.

Out And About
That's a lovely picture ! .
I was in Eagle Rock and spotted a 1937 Chevy pickup, it looked in decent shape apart from the fake patina B.S. they did to it . |

Does anyone know if Chevy made a four speed trans that would fit the same space as the three speed I have now.
|
Transmission Options
Yes -but- the top gear will be the same direct drive your three speed has now .

Maybe you can tell me this, why is my truck popping out of third gear on deceleration? |
Tranny Woes
Because the counter shaft (cluster) gear is out of alignment .
You'd best take it apart A.S.A.P. and see what's what, quite often the counter shaft proper is badly worn . I saw a '37 once that they just kept driving it low on oil and the cluster gear wore about 1/4" (!) into the case ruining it . Your truck has a *very* light duty cluster gear, it has a bronze bushing in it and this wearers . Also the cluster gear needs to be shimmed as it travels back and forth as you load and unload the gearbox ~ this is why it pops out on decel . The _GOOD_ news is : this gear we re designed my GM for the 1941 year model so it has proper needle typ roller bearings that fit right into your earlier tranny . Best bet is to find a takeout tranny from a Hot Rodder ~ they're worthless and so usually cheap or free so GET ONE and read it, lots of good info and you'll see how simple and easy it is . Yes, YOU at home can overhaul this simple gearbox with simple tools . The four speed version you're wondering about has a compound low first gear that only moves the vehicle at walking speeds ~ quite handy on the farm amd in commercial service . It has a flimsy little stamped sheet metal lever on the right side of the gearchange lever, this lifts up a thin rod going into the gearbox and disables the reverse lockout . The trannies up through the late 1940's are generally interchangeable ~ all you needs do is count the input and output slines and you're golden . I forget where you're located but I still see these trannies in Auto Jumbles . Before you pay for another one, COUNT THE TEETH ! . It's possible and likely that passenger car cluster gear and shaft will fit . I ass-U-me you have a shop manual ? . If not they're dirt cheap new and often free or close to when used and oily, the information therein doesn't change . If you decide t buy another tranny, new. used or "rebuilt" (?) Never, EVER let the old tranny out of your sight until the job is done and you're 1.000% happy . Many have failed to heed this simple advice, every one who did regrets it forevermore . :chevy:(it's about time my useless decades out of date experience comes in handy) |
Re: Another Blue Chevy
