My truck is a 6 cyl. It must have been born with the 254 but now sports a 235 ohv with the 4 sync behind it. At least i think it still has the 4 sync. Thats what the vin tag says. If I can be of help, let me know. Hard to believe the tires didnt slide or the brake didnt slip before the carrier broke like that. Looks like a tuff loss. And forks from the side is one of my biggest pet pevs. Lots of bad things can happen when trying to save one of these old soldiers.

 

I am thinking I m going to put my 272 from my 56 in it and I m going to keep the two speed in it and the 4 speed tranny

 

Anybody want to give this vin a brake down ?
What motor should of been in it?

 

That says it came with the 254 six and the 4 speed synchro tranny. Built in the Twin Cities St Paul plant

 

The guy from the auction looked at me funny when I said I wanted to pull it to my trailer .one on the trailer and out of the mud I could see that they where moving all the cars and trucks with the end loader.

 

time for bed! I said it now sports a 235? What i ment to say was a 223!

 

I think this is what I need

 

I seems you were there also, next time I'll just stand on the side and let you take care of it. I guess that's what I get for trying to help Quit your whining


BTW, the non sychro tranny has reverse over to the right and down, the synchronized tranny has reverse over to the right and up. I thought all '51 and '52 came with the synchronized trannies.

 

This was on the dash

I new you would get my jock! Lol

 

OK, now we are getting TMI about your trip.

 

Yes Chris, that is the 4 synchro trans.

 

That driveshaft is in better shape than the one my truck came with. They broke the rear shaft in the middle and slid a section of lead water piper over both parts then welded it solid.

 

Thous are not bubbles that's snow!

 

So, the center support bracket shows to be available at a couple places, and the center support cushion (rubber part) seems to be cheap and available at Mac's and other places (ignore Mac's fitment info, same number used into the '50's):

Support bracket: 01T-4808-B
Support bracket cushion: 01T-4826-B

 

My '51 has a crash box, so not all came with the synchro silent.
