What Tranny Is This

[pumppy10]

I picked this tranny up in  a deal from a guy, from what I can gather it came out of a 1950 ply. deluxe.

the numbers are as follows, on gear box- 1139152-9, on tail shaft 1138238-5.

I thought it was just the standard 3 speed, but today I noticed it has a much longer tail shaft, it this maybe an overdrive set up?

Definitely not an OD setup; it doesn't have any of the external OD parts.

yea I see what ya mean, I do not know these old trannys, after a closer look i'm thinking 4 door with the longer wheel base. Oh well, one can hope, lol

Looks like a pretty standard 3-speed.  First I'll assume that whatever is under it isn't part of the transmission.  It's missing a shift lever.  I hope this pic is clear enough for you to see.

Noticed the speedo output is on the opposite side from my 48', is that a clue, do they vary by model/year?

If you clean it off where i circled it there should be a date stamp on it.

Yes the 50s cars switched sides.

I take it that you have a business coupe which is a short wheelbase car and uses a different transmission, it shares the transmission with another Plymouth body style and I can not remember which one but some one here will reply with the other body style..

Steel wagons, 2 dr sedan(fastback) and business coupe are all short wheel base cars.
