Thx for the replies. It's a 1/2 ton. Here's all the history I have on it. A railroad worker drove it into a NC town to work on the new railroad coming through in the late 50's. It overheated when he got to town and wouldn't turn over after that so he sold it to a local mechanic. The mechanic rebuilt the 235 motor and, for some insane reason, installed a tranny from a bus. I don't know (yet) what rearend is in it. I'll have the truck on Thursday and will try to identify the tranny and the rearend this wekend.
