Ok, with everything I have been getting done on the 40 lately, one question keeps getting asked to me...
My 40 commander does NOT have overdrive, but the 49 commander I have does...
My father-in-law keeps telling me that I will want to pull the overdrive from the 49 and put it on the 40, which he says will be completely compatible. I believe him, but is this the right thing to do? And, more importantly, when, should I do it? I am currently pulling the rear drums to finish the brakes, so th ecar is on jack stands..
Realistically, the 49 was kept as a parts car for the sole purpose of being used for parts... obviously the bodys are not interchangeable, but the mechanicals are... both flat 6's, etc... The 49 was, I believe my wife's grandfather's car too.
I am trying to decide if I want to keep the 49 even at all. I think th eonly thing I plan to use from it would be the overdrive.... MY f-i-l tells me that the body on the 49 has a lot of patch work done to it, but I am thinking those parts could be pulled and repaired or just replaced later.
Any opinions from you guys are welcome, as always...
