Hi Larry
you need to tell us more, is it a single speed (15cwt) or a two speed (60 cwt)?
If a single speed both chev and ford are interchangable, if 2 speed you need a Ford case as it has differences from the GM version.

[Larry Mass]

O sorry it a single speed the fella that owned it before used it for a tow truck and he said he put a 2 speed in it for more power.

Hi Larry

Why do you want to change back to a one speed......? is the two speed crapped out or do you just want to be historically accurate???

I have a 2 speed in a Chevrolet C15a and absolutely love it.

Cheers

PS.....Bob P. can you send me a PM re your tranny cover.

I have no idea what shape the transfer case is in I acquired it 15 years ago and it sat in my pasture ever since. Yes I am a bit anal about originality I don't want to bastardize vehicles by putting parts on that are not original equipment to me it lowers the value. I am asking for help in finding a single speed transfer case for my ford cab 13 15 cwt cmp are they the same in cab 11 and 12's


thanks

I believe that an early (11 &12 cab) transfer is interchangable with a later 13 cab. Maybe Bob C. could confirm as he has more experience owning/operating the early cabs than I do ( my feet are too big) You should be able to find one close to home- we have some forum readers in central Canada.
With respect to originality in a truck - its purely personal choice but I am with Bob C. as I have a 13 cab chev 15cwt under restoration which is updated with a 261 engine and 2 speed transfer case. I have had several originals that were relatively gutless and slow. I hope my updates will make this vehicle a little more user friendly on the road.
