joenavy85 Posted June 21, 2020 Report Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Just picked up a '51 B-Series long bed thats in pretty good shape. The trans needs some work (synchros for 2nd are toast, 3rd are decent, 4th are buttery smooth) and the rear brakes are completely shot. The lines are easy enough, but I'm curious what the best source for replacement drums is. Also looking at potentially putting in a dual carb setup. Any recommendations?

Dodgeb4ya Posted June 22, 2020 Report Posted June 22, 2020 You won't find a syncro for 2nd gear....there isn't one. Only 3rd and 4th have syncro rings. Quote

Yeah, I was talking it over with my dad last night, that was his thought since the granny 1st wouldn't be used for everyday driving. Quote
