Good afternoon fellow Bolters. I have a 1953 Chevy 1/2 ton 3100 Panel Truck. I have a 235 engine from a 1954 Chevy Panel truck (blue flame) , I have the original rear end and torque tube, and I have the original 3 speed transmission with shifter on the column (3 on the tree).
I just bought a 1950 Chevy Panel Truck for parts only and I'd like to put the 4 speed transmission that came with it in my truck. I have my original rear end and torque tube and I have the rear end and torque tube and 4 speed transmission that came with the 1950 Chevy 1/2 ton panel truck. QUESTION - will the 4 speed transmission (1950) bolt up to my 235 engine (1954) and use whichever torque tube will join it all up , this should all bolt together, correct?
Another BIG QUESTION is - With the 4 speed transmission, I know that 1st gear would be granny low, then would 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears be like the 3 on the Tree gears? I know I have to put in the metal panel on the floor for the 4spd.
