Geodd Posted October 16, 2019 Report Posted October 16, 2019 Been planning on a Lycock Model J Overdrive for my 1941 WC-12 but, I totally forgot Dodge offered an Overdrive. Which one would have been used on a 41' 1/2 ton truck?? I understand the Lycock is going to be much newer and a relatively easy rebuild but, if I can go original, I would. I would appreciate hearing from other truck owners about their driving experiences with an overdrive. Thank you! Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted October 16, 2019 Report Posted October 16, 2019 Dodge trucks... as far as I know never offered an OD on any 1/2 ton PU's 1941 -52. They did in the bigger 1-1/2 tonners starting in around 1951 in the 5 speeds...4th direct, 5th OD gear. 1 Quote

I had read in a Dodge truck book that Dodge offered a 3 speed transmission with overdrive from 1933-1960. This was NOT an official manual but, it DID deal with the lighter trucks.

Dodgeb4ya Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 I did a clutch job on a 1956 1/2 ton PU that had the R10 OD in it a few years back. An original truck.. 1 Quote
