Thought I'd share some pictures of one, I intend to put it in my 52 1 ton behind a Spicer 5 speed OD and a 3-53T detroit diesel.

Ratios on the 6041 are 2.14, 1.24, 1.00, and 0.86:1 for 1st through 4th gears respectively.
My 3053 spicer 5 speed has a 0.85:1 OD already, making double overdrive an effective 0.73:1.

It is a little on the large side for a 1 ton but it's not that big of a stretch. I like that it has a parking brake, I might use a disc brake conversion on the 14 bolt rear and that solves the parking problem without the expensive Cadillac calipers.

8 = 157" wheelbase.
3 = Cab (body type)
5 = 1965
P = Pontiac Assy. Plant
104983 = unit number starting with 100001.

That old 80 series probably came with a 348 or a 409. Both of which are hard to find. Looks like it had a power tower with a winch at one time. Auxiliary shifters are getting hard to find too.

Thanks Mike.

I was wondering if it had a 409, that was my uneducated guess, the engine is long gone.
No power tower, the chain seen beside the transmission was from a jack shaft driven by a PTO on the main transmission.

Looked through my Spicer manuals last night and found I have both the service and parts manuals for the 6041, if I knew that before I had forgotten about them.
