I have a 41 burb with the no sync 4 speed tranny.
Is there a tranny I can swap into this driveline and still keep the torque tube?

Not that I've heard of. I've been trying to figure the same thing but all I could come up with is a closed drive SM420 and modify the torque tube and driveshaft. Seems like a lot of work.

The three speed was standard equipment and will fit right in.
It is synchronized in second and third.

I have a 1941 1 Ton Chevy truck transmission with an open drive line.

It is going in my 1946 Suburban that I had a new 3.55 rear end built for.

Think about changing out that old low rear end you probably will sooner or later. Most people do, I have on all 4 Art Deco trucks I have had.

I wonder how much of a problem it would be to substitute in the newer 48-54 1/2 ton enclosed driveshaft assembly and use the newer 4 speed?

What years am I looking for to find a 3 speed?
The same era or is it something newer.
