Folks Of Interest Tow Truck Trans

Are these style toploaders desirable to anyone? I've never seen one with a brake on it. Probably a common thing with big trucks.

 

They make great boat anchors.

 

I am far from an old Ford trans knowledgeable person. But weren't some of the big truck trans a 4 speed and non-synchro? Making that trans not desirable for anything except a stock restoration?

 

That is a truck transmission with a PTO still bolted to the side. Probably not useful in a hot Rod.

Too bad the bell is part of the trans. Some of the flathead big truck trans bolted to a hogs head which is used to adapt other trans, like a T-5. Looks just like the one in a '40 1 1/2 ton flatbed dump I had. As said not worth much except for someone restoring a truck with an open drive line trans.

 

Most valuable part is the pto

 

^^^^ i'll second that.

 

Looks to me to be a one way PTO for the hoist for a dump truck. Not a 2 way for a winch, they are much larger

 

I gave two of them to the s****per about 5 years ago. Good riddance
