Next topic on Chevrolet 1533X2 configuration: the rear axle.
The requirements document of the LRDG posted by John J. Valenti specfies a 6.17:1 differential ratio.
From the “Desert Chevrolets” article in Wheels & Tracks magazine no.8 I copied the technical details of the 1940 Chevrolet WA. This had a differential ratio of 5.43:1, or 6.17:1 as an option.
I’ve read the 1533X2 was fitted with a 2-speed Eaton axle. Can anyone show the technical documentation to underpin this?
