Very correct. Dad's 40 Plymouth was a 4spd and it's now swapped into the 46 yard truck at the cabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47 dodge 1.5 ton Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) I ran into similar issues when looking at upgrading to a 5 speed transmissions. I noted that the 48 5 speed housing was also drilled for the older style top covers. Winter project will be rebuilding the water logged 39 top cover and putting on a 48 trans case. I’m not sure about the 4 speeds, but would bet they are. I have a ‘48 or 49” chassis here with a 4speed hooked to a 25” motor, maybe I’ll take a peek and see what’s there. My biggest issue is the location of my crossmember as the 5 speed is longer, that may be something for you to check if considering the 4 speed which would be my choice.

ScubaEsteban Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 And here I am debating taking mine back to the column 3 on the tree. Decisions... If I decide to swap I might be up for a trade ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
