Big job.

How do I check trans make. It is a 5 speed, appears to be HD, Q model.

 

Good question. My top guess is Clark those are most common on Fords
IH etc back then. From your pic it so far looks like it. A bigger pic would
help. Also they have two power take off points left and right. As far as
casting numbers (thats a dead end) both use the same case for direct
and overdrive. unfortunatly they were paint stenciled example
280 V or 280 VO numbers varie with sizes (light or heavy). Usually
stencilled on the drivers side If you are luckey the paint aint wore off.
Examining your hand brake pic. It sure looks like a light duty Clark?
I'm going by the filler plug. My HD Clarks all ODs the filler plug is
much larger. Memeory serves me, I think light duty Clarks are 260 V -V0s
(I think)...Look at the U joint small (F6 ish) or big F7-8-900s. just another
clue.

Sam I forgot to look in the books for ya (I'll write me a note)

 

Oh the Micro lock. I assume they are available Abe. Do I have them NO.
every one here knows I hate dispicable juice brakes should be outlaw'ed
lol. There is hope though, you could pipe a hydraulic lock valve, a simple
mecanical block no electric soloniods - step on brake pull valve & oil flow
is blocked from returning to the master cyl. something Graingers may
have for fork lifts things like that. Once had one on a backhoe to block
backhoe from loader just a small thing with push pull ****. 3500 lb rating
just an idea

Sam,

Thanks for the info on trans. I will try to take some more pics later today, different angles.. I appreciate you help, and love your trucks.

 

Sam,
Here are a few more pics of my trans.














On the shot that hs the 4 pieces of tape, I think thats where I might be able to mount the hardware for the brake. thanks for your help[.

 

The item # 2795 in this diagram should attach to the right side of the transmission...




... in the two holes in this pic with the tape on them.

 

Thank you Jolly Roger Joe

 

Not sure if this picture will help. This is a trans I had from one of my trucks. Shows the E brake setup well.

 

The lever, pawl, and rod, are the same as the smaller trucks that use the transmission mounted park brake. Tons of them out there. The sector bracket is different. I may know of some correct ones that could be available instead of wasting time trying to fubar a later piece of junk on to it.

Thank you for the great pictures. That helps a lot. Perhaps you could put me in touch with the proper source for these parts.

p.s. Fabulous looking trans and bell housing

 

WMJoe1953,

Same message as above for you. Thanks for any help

 

Jim,

Sorry, no extra parts here. Sold the driveline in the picture for a COE build.

 

Jim check your email I have the parts you need

 

Found a pre production engineering interior photo of a Big Job.

 

That is a cool picture of a '54 Big Job. Yes, a 54. I can tell by the seat upholstery.
