Does anyone have a 1947 1/2 ton with an original 4 speed transmission and the original torque tube setup. I have that configuration and the rear end went out
(locked up - slid to a stop). rather than rebuild the rear end i trew away the old one and picked up anothert out of a 51 from the junj yard. When I bolted it all up, the propeller shaft splines would not reach the splines on the yoke - too short by almost 3 inches. I hate I threw away the old rear end torque tube assembly but it was 20 years ago and I was not as wise. So, I welded 2 yokes together for the last 20 years but am now wanting to put it back authentic like Chevy designed it. Was the torque tube longer for the earlier shorter 4 speed transmission set up? when chevy changed to the synchronized transmission in 49 and it is longer by over 2 inches how was that difference in length handled? Can someone with this set up help? Thanks
