Alright, while I scramble to get pics put up, Kent Moore Service Equipment, Trans Hoist J-2649 is what the tag reads. Ring any bells?

Cnc Tech. Done two year program on how to program and run cncs, now working for the family business traveling around different states going in machine shops repairing their Mills.

Alright folks, my great great uncle brought a 1 ton stake truck pulling a trailer loaded with "junk" back in the '50s from california to Kentucky. Now in this "junk" was car parts and and they're abundantly strewn around the house he stayed in. One of these odd pieces is stamped "Trans. Hoist". I have tried Google, books, anything I can think of and find nothing. It's square tubing (looks like) thats almost an a frame with a steel cable on a pully that is ran by two gears. One of which has a 1/4" drive to raise and lower the cable. All I can think of is that this would be used in old trucks. Takw out the tranny plate in the floor pan and hook it to the trans and lower it out. Hopefully someone will have some insight on this. I can get pat number and maker later. Thanks!

Would it be possible to find another belhousing to the era of your truck and drill holes to make the bolt pattern correct? Just a thought.

I haven't gotten to drive it yet. The truck was given to me by my grandfather who drove it throughout the 70's. I just don't know which side the wheel come off of. For the lack of a garage I didn't get to try the other side of the pickup.

I just tried putting the original steel wheels on, and i remembered that the front and rear wheels were different sizes for the eyelet to go on the hub. But here is my question, I tried one on the rear and it wouldn't fit. So I went and put a different one on the rear and it fits. So I went to put the one I had just tried on the rear (that didn't fit) on the front, and it didn't fit. I only have four wheels with the truck and they all came off of it. But this one just doesn't want to go on the truck. So here's my thoughts. A hub could have been replaced and was a smaller size for the eyelet of the wheel, maybe it was a ford wheel? Any input on this is appreciated, I'm bum-fuzzled! Also, there's a vin number above the rear of the drivers side wheel on the frame, number 1271847 I tried using a website to decode, and it only gave me an error. And for the door tag, I lost it. So there goes that vin number!

I just recently bought a motor with a fluid drive trans for $170. Alabama is bit far to drive for me. Plus I have two sets of pedals,one original to the truck and one set from the 37. Thanks for lookin out!

Here's some giant pictures. These pictures are a little old, I dont have any of the current state. I'm waiting to hear back from the guy I took my transmission to, in the mean time I'm looking for motor mount rubber and shackles.

I do have the bell housing for the 37 trans, I haven't had much luck with finding the clutch yet. Thannks for the input and the welcomes.

I have about ten thousand questions and if I can get a hundred answered by you guys I'll be doing good. I have a '52 B3B that I have been restoring for quite some time (pics later) and theres a few things I need some help with. I just recently picked up a flat head for it from craigslist, it come from a coronet so the floor started won't be used. For the transmission I have a three speed floor shifter from a 1937 dodge bros. that I bought. So the quiestions...for now.. where would you all recomend buying a clutch, pressure plate etc.. from? And if I'm thinking correct I would buy it to fit the 37 trans instead of the 52. Any input I greatly appreciate, I will post more later after work (if I remember). Most of my questions will be where to order parts from. I found out quick that parts aren't readily available. Thanks for the help!
