The question came up last night. Was a 3 speed transmission available on the 1947 model truck? Figured somebody here would know. Thanx.

1947 Advance-Design truck?

Synchromesh 3-speed was standard equipment on 1/2 & 3/4 ton trucks (1946 and 1947).

Thanx for the info. Yeah, I forgot to mention it was Advance Design I was wondering about. Somebody asked me and I didn't know. I heard that all transmissions, 3 and 4 speeds, had floor shifters in '47. Is that true?

Yes.

Do you have a copy of the 1947 Truck Specifications Manual from the GM Heritage Center Vehicle Information Kits "Library"?
