I just discovered that the 4 sp crashbox in a 1937 GMC truck was a better
transmission
than the one in the 41-46 civ and mil trucks! The earlier had helical gears
for the 3rd gears.
When you drive a Chevy, it howls in 1st, 2nd, & 3rd because it has straight
cut gears.

This earlier tranny would not howl in 3rd!

Learn sumpin new every day!
