Just got my truck back from the brake store today...Had new brakes put all the way around...Now I need to have the seals done on the Tranny....Where Do I start? It is a 3 speed on the floor with granny. It has a 216. 1951 Thriftmaster.

1. What kind of tranny do I have?
2. Where is a good place to buy parts from?
3. Can I get this at the local Kragen?

This is the last piece to my puzzle before I make it a daily driver....Everything else is done except the minor things...Now I know I probably could look through the forum to find my answers..but sometimes it is easier to just post the question...

The "3 speed with granny" is referred to as a 4-speed, even though granny isn't usually used if the truck isn't loaded or not pulling something. If it's the stock unit it is a GM/Muncie SM420. I never have much luck finding this kind of stuff at Kragen's, I would try a NAPA or a Chevrolet dealer.

I got a seal kit from an online vendor for mine. I don't remember who though.
