I was considering putting a Saginaw 4-speed with OD (from a 3-speed) in my '55 1st. The hitch was that no one makes a shifter for the OD any more, and Patrick said his could be modified, but the way he said it (Patrick himself got on the phone) made me worry that I didn't want to tackle it.

Then my rear end started making noise, and I replaced it with one that has 3.08 gears. 70 is easy now, but I'm not pulling a trailer. And I have a GMC 270 under the hood.


1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more...
It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
