They used an inclosed drive shaft up to 1954, than they went to open drive. The rear extension housing and yoke can be swapped.
Cool truck!

I'm really happy with the trade, I gave a early 50s Chevy cab and doors to a guy for it, there's a bit of patina and only three holes underneath the cab and there small. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 96 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 96 | I'm glad it is a 1 ton plus tranny the truck frame and body is a 1 ton model ,its good to see whoever added the new transmission didn't make it to hard on me. now to see if the brake handle in the bed of the truck matches the bolts on this tranny or the original. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,097 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,097 | Are you saying that a 248 was bolted to that bell housing? It appears to be a V-8 bell housing which shouldn't fit.
