The gear lever has a wee lever to lift to get it into reverse. Definately no syncro.
A good tough box , but not an SM 420.
These were common in all the bigger '40 - '47 trucks , and optioned in the smaller ones
What are you planning on fitting it into ? .
I was planning on using it in my 75 FJ-40 Land Cruiser with an early 3spd t-case and rebuilt original 2F inline 6. The grannie gear in the SM420, at 7.05:1 is about the lowest out there! [img]

Your observation confirms my friends research about it coming from a '40-47 truck!
Thanks
