Thanks 3B....exactly what I was looking for....... will be using the info to ID my tranny...... was on a 1959 fuel truck with a 261 engine.......

Scott...... I can double clutch....in fact I can shift 3 to 4th if I pay attention to the revs/sound and speed with out using the clutch....just unloading the gear via the gas pedal.

My problem is a back issue that is robbing strength from my left leg .....plus the fact that my 1940 Chev Canadian military was designed using British standards so the brake pedal is on the right..... throttle button in the middle and clutch on the left...... add to this the extremely tight foot well...... very difficult to drive with size 11 work boots.....much easier to use light running shoes........ usually wind up driving with the right toes on the gas and my left shoe tucked under near my seat........ a very hellish design!!!!! .....ooh forgot to mention the truck is right handdrive and shifting with a clumsy left hand is no fun either.........Now planning to work on another Chev truck with more conventional pedals and foot space but would like the ease of a fully synchro while retaining a similar shift pattern and gear ratio. Chev truck base will be a model 1533 circa 1940-45 1 1/2 ton 133 inch wheelbase running a stock 235.

Thanks for your help.
