I have a 1947 3600 truck that I would like to replace the transmission in. It is in great condition and I use it as a daily driver. It has a 4 speed transmission that I just can not get the hang of down shifting in it and I end up grinding the hell out of the gears. I don't think it has any synchromesh gears in it. I would like to keep the original 216 engine. I am hoping that there is some sort of an adapter out there that will bolt up to the 216 and allow me to bolt on a newer 4 speed standard transmission. I would be happy with any 4 speed transmission. If there is an adapter what would you recommend for a replacement transmission. Is there any other recommendations out there?
