  1. Is anyone aware of a source for any of the parts to fit this style of transmission? Have checked MOPAR Mall and DCM. Suggestions?
  2. Interesting. Not sure if it was swapped out or not. No evidence of any mod to the steering column or floor, but of course lots of stuff could happen in 70 years. Would love to have external linkage at this point. Thanks.
  3. Thanks for the input. As this is a three-speed on the floor, there is no external linkage. The shift lever moves two "flat bars" each with a form of fork on it that slips over the shaft and serves to slide gears back and forth as you shift.
  4. First time posting. My son's 1950 Dodge B-2 1/2 ton has been undergoing a long rebuild. As part of it we replaced the rear end with a 1993 Ford Ranged axle and modified the drive shaft. After getting it back on the road it shifted pretty good for about thirty miles or so in city traffic. Then, it actually stuck in second gear and we could not shift out of it. The clutch would disengage but we could not move the shift lever. Took the trans out and opened it up to see if there were specific issues. With the exception of one of the ball bearings having come out from under the linkage bar, there did not appear to be any problems. Put it back in and it seemed to work okay with the drive shaft off. Reconnected everything and took it back on the road. This time after about a mile it began to shift "hard" into second and would pop out of second. Was able to nurse it back with first and third but when I got back it was now "stuck" in first and could not get it out of gear. Any thoughts, directions, or "rudder" on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Aloha.
