US built Dodge Canadian Dodge Truck Trans Differences

[55 Fargo]

Hey all, not sure if this is limited to the C series pickups and later, but my 55 Fargo, has a 4 spd T 98 Acme trans made by Borg and Warner, same as the T 98, used by Ford and Jeep well into the 80s.

So let me know if any of the US built trucks have this trans.

I do know that  a lot of the late 40s into the 50s Dodge truck used the New Process 435 trans.

These are all rugged transmissions, the T 98, is only 2nd to the Muncie SM 420 Rock Crusher.

the np435 was used in dodge trucks even later, into the 90s behind the 318.  however, most dodge versions were a close ratio transmission, instead of the wide ratio used in drof.  the drof np435 is better than the t-18.  lower first gear (6.68), and lower reverse (8.27).  the more common dodge version used a first gear of 4.56.  i put one (drof version) into my jeep cj years ago.

also, the 40s and 50s np used in dodge trucks was not the np435.  it was np, just not the 435, which came around in the 60s.

I think the B-series trucks used the NP-420 series transmission either spur gear up through 1950 and syncro 3rd and 4th gears 1951 to at least 1953.
