First let me start by saying hello to a great group. I recognize several names from other forums, and have been given lots of good advise. I'm working on a '46 Fleetmaster coupe and wish to install a '40-'47 1/2 ton Chevy truck 3 speed tranny and bellhousing. the problem is I haven't been able to locate one locally. the reason for the swap is because I have installed headers on a 1961 235 and have clearance issues with column shift. also I would prefer floor shift as I intend to build the car as a retro rod with dual exhaust and dual carbs, I also don't wish to swap the torque tube for a more modern rear end. I'm trying to build cheap and close to an early '50s influenced rod. thanks for letting me ramble.
