Recently I have noticed a major problem with the transmission in my 1936 ford flathead V8 pickup truck. There is a crack in the side of it as shown in pictures. Having a hard time finding a new transmission that matches this. Wondering if there are other transmissions that can match up to this? Looking for anything that may work whether that’s the casing, a whole new one or a similar transmission to hook up to it. It’s a 4 speed with a P/N 51- 7006. Upon reading other forums I found that a P/N 59T-7006 may also work?? Does anyone know if this is true or an explanation behind this? Thank you Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Just an FYI, that ain't no pickup truck. That's a big truck. I don't have any line on a replacement, but if you specify that it's a big ton truck it might help get you on the right track.
Check with fordbarn folks and Mac Van Pelt.I see your 17,good to see young folks here. Also fill in some profile info-location etc,will be helpful finding help and welcome.
I don’t see how to change it on profile but in Ohio, Dayton area. The truck used to be my dad’s. He bought it for $500 from an old friend when he was in his early 20’s which was a little over 40 years ago. Been sitting ever since until recently. Thank you!

You’re right. It has dual wheels in the back and originally a wooden bed. Thank you for your input! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Dont know where you're located but I know of a 37 truck thats 500 bucks for the whole thing and it has dual rear drive axles. Truxtel axle or something like that. That would have your transmission in it though
Chris, update your info at your acct under personal details by clicking on the single silhouette under the STORE near the top of the page, change your info and at the bottom of the page click on SAVE. That ought to do it.
Sorry about your transmission,,,I can’t help on that. However,,,I can offer some encouragement,,,,very proud to see you bringing this truck back to life. I assume the Flathead runs ok,,,judging from the clean carb and generator. I’m really excited for you,,,,keep working on it ! Tommy
Hey Chris- I bought some old motors that had been pulled prob. 39 years ago couple have trannys on them and they were trucks. P.M. me or give me a call. If it will work you can have one, just pay shipping. I'm in central Ks.
Hi Chris, I've got a 59T for sale in the classifieds now. It's in good shape, needs a shift lever pin installed but should work otherwise. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/52-f2-hd-trans-for-sale.1177281/ Mike
Thank you so much, I will look into it on my work break later on, this app is new to me but finding it very helpful Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Thank you so much, irs been a roller coaster of fun and challenges. I’ve had it running and it ran nice, good observations Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Thank you so much for this! Very interested, I will be in touch about this and will text you on my work break later this evening Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Not perfect my any means but this is my first shot at trying to make up my own replacement panels and it’s not too bad. Rust destroyed a lot of the drivers side sadly. I’ll have to bust out the welder later on and put all the pieces all on. Progress continues into 2020 Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
While I don’t have pictures of this metal fabrication, it was one my father helped me with as it was very complicated. It had a lot of rust damage and it was front the drivers side as well. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Great job,,,,I’m proud to see you are doing this. It’s a lot of work to be sure ! Keep at it,,,,,it can be overpowering,,,,and people give up part way through the project. Tommy
Thank you! Means a lot, especially when it gets frustrating Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Thank you! I started with mopeds when I was much younger, big transition but totally gonna be worth it Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
It’s a lot for sure, little by little is the plan for now. At first it was overpowering but little goals like having the cab rust free makes it easier. Complete goal is 2021 prom, which is my senior prom so still got some time left. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
