There are 2 different driven gears with housing for your '46 (if it's a 1/2 ton) and a 3rd one for 3/4 and 1 Ton trucks with the 3 speed transmission.

It would help if you could indicate which model truck and the wheel/tire size involved as those details play into which unit you need.

GM# 605061 is a 4 drive tooth - 12 driven tooth set

GM# 605062 is a 5 drive tooth - 14 driven tooth set

GM# 605063 is a 6 drive tooth - 19 driven tooth set

Jeff - Sorry if my reply mislead you. I don't actually have any of these. frown I was just offering the information to see if it can help you find what you need.

Perhaps a fellow 'Bolter has something stashed away or sitting on a shelf somewhere that will replace your missing one?

Since you've indicated it's for a 1/2 ton, can you look inside the speedometer plug port and count the teeth on the speedometer drive gear that is pressed on to the front U-joint yoke (if still installed)? It should have either 4 or 5 teeth and that will tell us what driven gear tooth count you need.

On a further side note after rechecking the 1946 Chevy Car/Truck Shop Manual, the GM# 605061 gear set used in the 4.11 rear gear ratio 1/2 ton trucks is the exact same set as used on the 1941-48 Chevy passenger car 3 speed when the car was equipped with the standard 4.11 ratio rear end.

If you can find a 1941-48 Chevy car 3 speed, you may be able to snag the gear from one of those. wink

Finding a donor car 3 speed is much more likely than finding the truck top shifter 3 speed. smile

Best of luck in your search! thumbs_up
