dual range HydraMatics are different and require specialized tools than ANY newer generation automatic trannys. There are probably 5 shops in the US that can overhaul one. Last I heard, there was one in southern California.

I would recommend moving further questions on your truck onto a different forum.

Hi Lakeroadster, I also would appreciate the 47-53 tailgate lettering CAD file. Like Edwin before me, I know it's an old post but would be grateful to receive it. My email is kdbkdb@embarqmail.com Thanks in advance for your help!
Evan:

Any chance you have a LONG wheelbase late 40 to mid 50 Chey or GMC truck enclosed driveline lying in your scrap pile. I know a guy that needs everything from behind the tranny to just before the torque tube.

Thanks, Bill
