C60S Transmission Question

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Harry and Grant

Yes, I've used both parts sources before with good success. Obviously with NOS parts their stock fluctuates. I even found a NOS 4x4 engine oil pan for the 261 Chev engine that went into my `42 C60S, a part that I had been looking almost a year for and one day they had it.

The bearings are available relatively easily the main point of this exercise was getting a new main shaft. On the old shaft given the chatter marks where the cage bearing runs I was not hopeful of regrinding and finding a different bearing to fit. Even considered smoothing the shaft and re-machining to fit a speede sleeve.

Now I have to decide do I pull the transmission or see if I can pull the shaft in the truck. Either way it is going to wait until after November 11th veterans day event. Want to get another couple hundred miles on the truck to see if I've got to do anything else since the engine swap.

Cheers Phil
