will a standard 2r5 4 speed manual transmission just bolt up without modification on a 1949 2r5 3 speed 1/2 ton truck?

You are much better off with a three speed with overdrive. Most of the truck four speeds are compound low (granny gear) and 4th gear is straight through.
A three speed with an overdrive will allow better road speed.Last edited by RadioRoy; 08-21-2015, 09:34 PM.RadioRoy, specializing in AM/FM conversions with auxiliary inputs for iPod/satellite/CD player. In the old car radio business since 1985.

The three-speed/OD IS the more desirable option but, that still doesn't answer the question.Brad Johnson,
