Thanks for the tip Jerry.......
There are more old 48 to 53 trucks around than 60-62 with a six...... the sad part is that most of the old junk is getting melted but the further out of town you go the more likely to find old farm trucks... just on Farce book alone there are a few complete 1 or 2 tons rolling chassis available..... what we can't find around here with the salted roads is decent sheet metal!!!! I am not to in love with an hydraulic clutch and may try my hands on a few spare bell housing here at the barn....... according to at least on "inventor" it is less than 6 hours of work the big issue is locating the fulcrum point for the threaded ball but apparently the bell housing was cast with a blank boss, for the fulcrum ball on the right hand inside of the early bell housing.
May need to search for an actual part number if I buy online as I have enough boat anchors. Most of my reference books stop in early fifty.
PS....found a bunch casting and part ## numbers for 47 to 51......... and it is not a bell housing but a Housing, clutch......
Only time will tell what I wind up with......
