The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline is it a muncy in my chevy truck

Before i take it out i need to know what it is so i can read up and study exploded views to find what needs to be replaced after(Looking for damage) .The truck has the enclosed drive shaft in the tube.Again the truck is 1952 three on the tree.Where do i look for numbers on it or find books online to ID it.(Pictures) Thanks

check the GM 53 info kit, and a shop manual here - a shop manual is a very worthwhile investment

Found exploded view of it under 48-51 truck manual.Same manual has a second trans with exploded view with a shorter tail end .Are gears the same on all from 48 to 53 or later? I must get a manual for it my Motors book has its a muncie from 30s till 1950s .no pics .The place i get my parts locally is very cranky with customers who do not have all their ducks in a roe. thank you for your help.

the only '52 transmissions available were the standard 3 speed and the [shorter] optional 4 speed
I believe you'll find the standard truck 3 speed was a Muncie unit [GM corporate] until about 1968, which doesn't tell your cranky parts place much, get the numbers off the trans and see if that doesn't make them even crankier
