Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2005Feasability question
Have a shot at getting a 245 6 cyl out of a early 50's 1T truck.Any ideas what I will need to do to use a car 3 or 4-speed behind it? Bob40 a pre 1951 Commander bellhousing for a 3spd/3spd OD?? IIRC that the starter is located different side also. > Have a shot at getting a 245 6 cyl out of a early 50's 1T truck.Any ideas > what I will need to do to use a car 3 or 4-speed behind it? > > Bob40 > Have a shot at getting a 245 6 cyl out of a early 50's 1T truck.Any ideas > what I will need to do to use a car 3 or 4-speed behind it? > > Bob40 I don't know about the 4-speed, but I had a '50 half ton with the Commander Six and we bolted a 3spd w/od tranny out of a '47 commander in with no trouble what so ever. Wasn't so good for towing, but went down the highway much better Joe Roberts I have two transmissions out of cars laying around here...a '55 6cyl. 3spd with o/d and a '62 V8 4spd and was hoping to use either of those.

I know the champ six tranny will not bolt up, but I believe the V-8 trannies are the same as the ones put behind V-8's.

This weekend I thought it was a good time to "document" what fits what and have pics. What I have tried to do is take pics of the back of the enginge, plate, both front and back of the bell housings and the front of the trany. Could you please do the same? I will email you tonight some of the pics I took as an example. It would be nice to have a data base. Perhaps you can take some pics also? I don't have any pics of the later transmissions.

I bought it for a spare before my 245 bought the farm. Will sell for $60 plus actual shipping cost. Jim C. > Bob, > I am in the process of putting a 245 in my '38 Studebaker.

That bellhousing could possibly be redrilled to accomodate the T86 3 speed, or it might even be already drilled for it. That would be for the early '50s "square" bolt pattern on the T86. The "Ford-style" bolt pattern was used on later T86 and T10 transmissions, other than the '61-'62 T10s. Gord Richmond |
