Help !
Trying to make my truck work "with the parts on hand".
Situation: '54 Chevy 3600 PU, 3 sp column...open driveshaft all the way.
Problem: rear tranny bushing and driveshaft yoke are wiped-out. Parts are hard to come by.
Proposed solution:
I have a good Warner T-89 three-speed from a friend's '49 3600...only problem is the rear of the tranny is set-up for enclosed driveshaft...
Can I mate the front half of the '49 driveshaft to the rear half of the '54 driveshaft, making the transition at the carrier bearing ?
Am I asking for more trouble ?
