I made progress reviving my 1953 1-ton - replaced water pump and engine running smooth now. I now return to a problem I queried about in a previous post: (http://www.stovebolt.com/bboard/cgi-bin//ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=014247;p=1#000000
We couldn't figure it out. My clutch seems stuck in an open position, or something. I can shift through all the gears with clutch depressed or not pressed, with the engine running. And nothing happens, the truck doesn't move an inch. No weird sounds, it just shifts through all gears. It's gotta be something in the clutch, right?
My '53 has a '59-'60 235 in it. I'm wondering if the clutch or trans is not matched up right. Can I find serial numbers on the clutch and trans to identify the year and model? | | |

quarter, It could be something to do with the clutch, or broken transmission parts, broken "U" joint, driveshaft, axle[s], diff. side gears, more detective work required, sorry I couldn't help more. | | |

Things don't usually just give up the ghost in the clutch/pressure plate area. This should be fairly easy to figure out. Start at the engine and work toward the rear. When things aren't rotating anymore, you have found the broken component.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
