If there are any hotrodders in your area, check them to see if there's anyone making an original Chevy car of the '37or '38 vintage into a hot rod. They usually rip out the drive train and you can pick up parts you want for next to nothing. At one time, I had a half-dozen extra transmissions that I acquired in that way and I don't think I ever paid more than $20.00 for one.

Spend some time reviewing the 1928-1954 parts list. There are some internal parts in the later transmissions that will fit the ”˜37. There is better interchangeability across ”˜40 to ”˜54, but still some back to ”˜37.
In general I would not be too concerned about immediately collecting transmission parts unless you are actually having problems. I doubt if you will ever drive the car enough to wear out the transmission.
Unless your technique is speed-shifting without the clutch!

The gears fit 1937-1939 only. If it is working OK now it will last forever as long as it is full f gear oil.
