Dozerman51 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 What tranny do you have in your truck. Is it a 3 on the tree or 4 on the floor? Quote
48Dodger Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 48-49 1/2 tons are "on the floor" shifter and "on the floor" pull brake.....1950 was the first year on the tree and pull brake under the dash. 48D Quote

Dozerman51 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 Those darn Pilothouse era trucks cross me up. Guess i’ll just stick to the earlier “W” series trucks. LOL. Always good to learn new things. 1 Quote
POPTOP Posted January 19, 2018 Author Report Posted January 19, 2018 thanks anyway Dozer I just found a company in ohio that has most all the parts That's what they said there name is North West Transmission ph# 800 327 1955 Quote
squirebill Posted January 31, 2018 Report Posted January 31, 2018 Poptop....I can vouch for North West Transmission. Had dealings with them a few years back. Needed the cluster gear for my '49 floor shift trans in my B1B. I don't know how much this part would cost if I could find it some other place...I'm guessing $250-$300 dollars. They ended up trading me my part plus $50 for their part. Good folks to work with. Been a while since I was in this transmission but do remember it has two shifting bars fastened to the underside of the top plate. One plate would be for Reverse and first and the other for second and third. These bars have a 90 degree bend to them and the short arm of the bar fits down into a slot that is on the face of the gear. I'm thinking maybe the shift bar is defective or maybe it is not in the slot. Try to get a good look at these shift bars when you pull the top plate off the trans box. Maybe the first/reverse bar just has to be properly seated in the gear slot. Best regards Quote
