I picked up a 1941 1 ton GMC milk truck the other day and plan on restoring it. The engine looks to be stock and should be a 228 according to the serial number. The transmission is "toast". It appears that they had trouble with it and someone removed the top and left it open. Everytning is rusted together now. It has a covered drive shaft for about 18 inches. At that point it stops at a carrier bearing and is an exposed shaft from there on back. I don't have enough knowledge to know if my transmission is a 3 or 4 speed by looking at it. I would like to use a later transmission with syncros if it will bolt up.Can anyone tell me what years of transmissions would be compatable.
