Re: Another Blue Chevy
Drove the truck to breakfast and stopped at Tractor Supply to pickup birdseed. Saw this '63.

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 .

Re: Another Blue Chevy
Does anyone know if Chevy made a four speed trans that would fit the same space as the three speed I have now.

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?

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 . ![]()

You're most welcome .
Long, long ago I too needed to ask questions and about 1/2 of the old guys flat refused to share their hard won knowledge & experience . This is foolish to the extreme . I have tips for the Oakie Bushing and getting the tranny back in too ~ in my youth your rig was just another $75 work truck wheezing up to the pumps .

Re: Another Blue Chevy
Well I got some good news. I've located a trans from another '35 I just have to wait till spring to get it, it's still in the truck in a barn in the cold and snowy mountains.

Re: Another Blue Chevy
Pops out of 3rd gear? Sounds like it's time for an LS-swap!
![]() Sorry. I'm beginning to think I've been programmed ![]() Yeah yeah, just kidding. Glad you found another transmission that will go right in. You don't need granny gear anyway. Getting into newer years, my buddy has a '55 1st Design, original 6cyl/3spd. I gave him a 3spd out of a '72 that bolted right in on that first year open driveshaft. Now he has full-syncro 1st
