Hello, Everyone this is my first post here.....Gulp. I just purchased a 51 Cranbrook all original. The motor was seized so I tore it out. I found and industrial 230 that I have put in it and am now to the transmission portion. I have the transmission installed and am trying to put all the brackets back on it. I took photos of where everything went but unfortunately broke my phone and the pics are un-retrievable. I have been search P15-D24 for any post about this specific topic and have found a few diagrams that are kind of similar but not 100% correct to my application. Does anyone have any pic or diagrams that they could send me of the park brake layout and the clutch torque shaft and linkages. I have ordered a manual but I am impatient. All so on a separate note and I may need to start a new post on this one, but I will give it a shot. I need to replace the passenger floor pan and inner and outer rockers. Is there a particular order that I should replace them in?

Hello all, I have a '50 B2B, Yesterday I found out I could not get into first gear or reverse. For some unknown reason the Linkage/Pivot point spot welded to the steering column was torn off. I tried to make a clamp to hold it in place or at least in the same area. The clamp did not hold very well or stop the linkage from moving around. I opened the floor transmission panel to see if I could engage the linkage to "force" the transmission into reverse.With much work and jiggling I was able to get the truck to back up, I have been able to take off in second gear but I am afraid of burning out the clutch out and causing a new headache. I have a stock flat head six engine, and was driving it daily. I was not happy with the performance/speed on the freeway or the gas mileage, so a different rear end and transmission maybe in the future anyway. I love/hate driving the truck and the looks I get on the road , I am not looking to get rid, junk of sale the truck. So I guess my questions to the group are : 1. Is there an adapter to convert the column shift to a floor shifter ? 2. Is there straight across swap automatic transmission I can do and what is it ? 3. Is it better to replace the steering column (if I can find one) and run it 4. Anybody know of a good transmission shop in So Cal ( LA area) ? 5. Anybody ever have this happen to them and if so, what did they do? 6. Is there a 4 speed transmission that will bolt up to my engine (stock) without much hassle ? Thanks all in advance, this forum has been a great wealth of information and advice. I have gotten so much help in reviewing all the posts.
