Here's what I got: Chevrolet Dump Truck - 1940 Master. Dually tires, closed driveline.
The transmission is shot.
Truck also needs a floor shifter pan, and the front glass upper cowl sheet metal...(sheetmetal above the front windows...inside the cab.)
But here is what I am trying to figure out:
What type of 4 speed transmission went into the 1.5 ton 1940 Master? and what would have been an original motor?
The casting number on the top pof the tranny and adjacent to the stick is: (possibly a ("C") L 289.
The reverse shift is mounted on the shift stick with a pull up type of small lever just below the shift knob.
The ID tag on right door pillar was hard to read but the number is: 2WA0311095 "Master"
Could not find a serial number on the motor boss left of the distributor. It may be a replacement motor. The Block cast code below that was GM 38941
The old State registration had this number: Master TB1614552ad31109 6500 POUNDS. 29 HP.
I'm looking for some help to solve the mysteries:
What type of tranny do I need to find?
Thank you for your help.
