Hi Smokey ~
Yeh I'm out here lurking .... Just let me know what you need to know
about installing a Chevy S10 T5 tranny in a 47-53 3/4 ton with open
drive and I can walk or talk you thru it. Been there done that.
Did you find a tranny yet Smokey?

I have the higher speed rear end gears in my '50 3600, and can cruise all
day at 60-65 now, even with the old granny gear transmission. However, I
intend to do the transmission swap for a 5-speed S10, which will make a
tremendous difference, and I understand it's basically a bolt-in, at least
for the 3600. My friend and list member has a '49 3600, and has done this
modification successfully, and can give you the details. You out there,
Tom?
