I considered posting this question in the Technical Discussion - if that is the more appropriate venue, I'll be glad to move it there, or, the administrators may decide to do so.
I'm wondering when the automobile lines quit using the old torque tube and changed over to open drive lines - I've heard it called Hotchkiss Drive, not sure if that is technically correct. I'm gonna make a guess that the change occurred with the 1947 "Postwar" models. But, if it occurred earlier, I'd like to know when that change took place.
And, on the same subject, when did the light trucks make this change? Again, my guess would be the 1949 model year, as that was the first new Postwar truck
Thanks in advance for your responses.
