I'm new to this forum so please bare with my pesky questions. I have a 1949 chevy 6400 it has a 2 speed rear end and it has an oil fill plug on the backside of the pumpkin (where it is normally) but after cleaning the rearend up I discovered what looks like a oilfill plug up front by the yoke. could anyone please help inform me about this set up. thanks | | |
