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. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | 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  Bill | | |
