I tracked down some parts and got it back in shape..I traded for the motor and transmission.. It runs great.. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 725 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 725 | Are you talking about the bellcrank that goes between the block and frame on the the 250? If so, ignore it and use the '56 linkage bill suggests.

Bill,
New one on me.
Never dealt with a fj,kd thats why I would have never Known about that gear box!
Never saw it in a G.M. truck all these yrs.
Just assumed we were dealing with Normal G.M. Products.

They can be detected by an aluminum top cover.
I've never seen a Chevy version myself but it should bolt to the 56 bell and use the standard fork... | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 | Back when I worked for a construction company there was one in one of there 1972 Chev 1 tons.
