Hello, I just picked up this conglomeration of 4 vintage trucks. It has parts from Chevrolet, Dodge Brothers, Erskine, and Kelly. Radiator is a Erskine, front end is a Dodge Brothers, Looks like the frame and rear end are a Kelly, the engine is a 1928 Chevrolet inline 6. The inline 6 is my question. I thought the first Chevrolet inline 6 was made in 1929? Old owner said it was a 1928. Also I pulled the motor today. I could not get the transmission and motor apart. I pulled 4 bolts. Is there something I am missing? Transmission backed off about 1.8" and will not move any farther. Is there some kind of pin on the shaft holding the transmission to the engine? I posted pictures of the engine information and the so called truck. Thought you would get a lick out of it. Oh, almost forgot. I has 3 transmissions. The standard Chevy 3 speed, a T-2C-1 3 speed and a 4 speed brownie.
That's cool..I acquired a smaller version of a conglomeration of parts put together for the purpose of "Gittinger Done" with what you got to work with...this one's got I believe to be very early Chevrolet axles that have been narrowed, along with 17" artillery wheels on the rear, and a combination of gears , chains and sprockets for gear reduction and transmission, all in the open with out any guards and with the seat mounted over the top of it all...you best better make sure you got your self all tucked up in your bibs and secure...you thought getting your lower unit stuck in your zipper hurt....oh boy..well used to be..ya.. Anyways looks like something you could have some fun with.. Sent from my SM-T387V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I have several 1928 Chevrolet 4cyl. engines and I also believed that the 6cyl. did not start until 1929 model year. The confusion may be in the fact that an engine block was most likely cast in 1928 in order to be ready to go for the 1929 model year. Following later precedent, model year 1929 vehicles would have actually been introduced to the public in the Fall of 1928. I do not have any suggestions on your problem of getting transmission removed from the engine. Have fun.
Could the clutch be frozen to the transmissions drive shaft? If so probably needs lots of WD-40, time and some heat.
