I am kind of new to this site and recently purchased a 2R5 1950 truck with the stock flat head and three on the tree. Right now I am just enjoying the truck but in the next year or so I would like to swap out the trans for one with overdrive. I know someone here knows what transmission is in this truck and what transmission is required to convert the truck to a three on the tree with overdrive. Is it a pretty straight forward conversion? and will the column shifter also need to be swapped out? Do I only need to acquire a transmission, I see a few T86 transmissions online but don't know what else is required, or if the T86 is the correct transmission. Also some of the T86 transmissions have different numbers included like T86E-1A. What exactly am I looking for? any help would be great.
Thanks,
Thanks,
