So I found and purchased a '47 with the parts i needed with a bonus 5 speed tranny. It has a shift pattern plaque on the dash that has the words "TruckStall" on it. Does anyone know what tranny this could be. I'm thinking of swapping it in just for the cool factor of a 5 spd. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,792 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,792 | I believe the proper spelling is "Truckstell". They were a private company that made various heavy-duty items for sale to dealers, to install on new vehicles at the customer's request. There was a Truckstell overdrive unit that was available as a dealer-installed option on some trucks in the 40's and 50's, as well as other custom items.
