Be the person you would want as a friend because at the end of the game the King and Pawn go in the same box.

A 1958 transmission will be open driveshaft type. If your 1949 is a 1/2 ton with closed driveline, you will need to replace the rear axle. If your truck is a 3/4 ton you will need a new driveshaft made.

Somehow my luck is running hot these past 2 wks. Got a lead on another GMC so gonna look at it this week. Might keep this 49 bone stock and mod the other one. He is only asking $250 for entire truck.
