I’m in the planning stages of a ‘40s-style hop up based on a Dodge Brothers roadster and using 90%+ pre-'49 MoPar content. After missing out on a complete engine / trans setup from a ‘38 Dodge passenger car, I’ve started thinking about other sources for a floor-shift 3-speed for this project. 1938 Dodge engine and trans I was already planning to use the steering box, column, and wheel from a Job Rated truck, and it occurred to me that these vehicles used floor-shift boxes as well. 1942 Dodge truck floor shifter Were the ‘39-‘47 truck three-speeds related to the ‘37-‘38 passenger-car boxes? How do the ratios compare? Can you swap parts around? Any help is appreciated!
