Today I went out and pulled the SM420 transmission form my 57 6400 parts truck I will be using it in the 56 6100 for a wile till I can afford the overdrive transmission I want. The 420 from the 57 looks really good inside but I am thinking I mite rebuild it anyway, the one from the 56 is now in the 64 because the one in the 64 the small gear on the countershaft was wasted but the 64 transmission has the heavy duty ribbed case so I may use the countershaft from the 57’s transmission to rebuild the one from the 64 with the heavy duty case and use it.
Tomorrow I will pull the 496 back out of the 56 install the flywheel and clutch and reinstall it with the starter and get it ready to fire up I have to find some one with a digital video camera so I can get some video for you guys. Anyway I need to get this truck going I need it, I just hope I get the chance to finish it the right way after I put it to work.
