41/53dodges Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 i have kinda been debating switching my truck from the standard 3-on-the-tree to a stick, and was wondering what vehicles would make a good donor for the top of the trans. were there any other vehicles with similar bolt-up transmission lids, or just the 1/2 ton PH?

Don Coatney Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I always thought three on the tree was a stick transmission. Opposition was an automatic transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merle Coggins Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Josh, You'll probably have to find a complete 3 speed from a 49 or earlier truck and swap in the whole trans. I believe there's more different than the top covers. Merle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
