Jim Bollman Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I believe the last manual transmission with floor shift was offered either in 2013 or 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I think Ram is the only American pickup truck available with an automatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Mellor NJ Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm assuming you mean the flathead years. Anyway,in the passenger cars 39 was the last year with a floor shift. It was also the first year with synchronizers in the three gears. They kept this trans in the pickups until midway in 50. The bigger trucks kept them on the floor afterwards but these were all 4 or more speeds. Those synchronized 3 speeds are prized by the modifiers for use with hopped up flatheads. They did away with the closed driveshafts in 46, I think, so if you're putting one in an earlier ford you need to look for the 39 or 40-42 truck unit.

There was no synchro, in first gear, in any of the early Ford transmissions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a Chrysler VIN rather than a Dodge VIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
