Lend Lease Chev 1 1.5 ton
Hi restorers and fellow bruised, cut and bleeding vehicle owners.
Could anyone tell me whether a gearbox from a Studebaker truck would fit a 235hp Chev motor in the 1 1.5 ton range. If these two are compatible, it would make life very breezy. Of course life isn't so bring on the news. Similarly, would a clutch kit for either vehicle be compatible? I've searched the forum for specific headers on the 30cwt but can only really find LRDG references. Any help greatly appreciated.  Chris

Hi Tony,
Yes, it has been awhile b/w posts. You know the story, juggling restoration, family, hobbies, going to events, work  !I've actually saved that picture to my Chev file. Yes that is the one I have. Thanks for picking up on the thread. I have a clutch that needs some attention (I've learned how to grind gears unfortunately) and looking for parts/kits/spares like everyone else I guess. Any ideas?

Well actually..
Im slowly doing one myself - but I have nothing spare at this point in time...having said that if I find a clutch plate thats suitable Ill give you a hoy.
There are people on this forum who I'm sure have stuff you may be looking for though... Have you got any pictures of your beast that you could post and perhaps some to illustrate your issues. Here's the one I'm doing

Here is a before photo of the Chev on arrival (on a flatbed) in about August 2009 I think it was. Rescued her from a farm in Victoria. It was running with a 500ml squirt bottle with petrol in it, sitting on the roof, feeding into the Carter W1 carb.
Bob - that advice sounds like gold and will check it out thank you. Tony good luck with yours. It looks like mine did to be sure. Be great to see a dedicated thread to the 1 1.5 tonners. Many thanks
