Found: Broken CMP Transmission piece.......

[Chris Preston]

Greetings All,

One of our museum's (Ashton Armoury Museum, Victoria, BC) CMP vehicles is out of service with a faulty transmission.

We have a 1944 Chev CMP 15 Cwt Truck has a broken shift fork, for shifting between 3rd and 4th gears.

Does anyone know of a source for same? This piece was in use in Chev 1-Ton transmissions from 1936-1956.

Over on HVMF I read that Chris is now contemplating getting the part he needs from the UK.

Now, surely this part can be sourced in Canada?!?!

So dear friends in Canada: who can help?

Chevy part number is 590514. Listings show the part as being relevant to 1938 to 1947 transmissions. I'm not a chevy guy so who knows?

A quick google search turns up new old stock examples available for reasonable prices:
