Carsnz123 Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 I picked up a very rusty late 50s Fargo truck today to pinch the engine and trans out of for my Chrysler project. It has a 4 speed New Process trans in it. The id tag on the firewall has C4B on it which I assume is the model. Anyone got any info regarding exactly what the transmission is for ordering replacement parts and knowing what the gear ratios are?

The Marina is son Harry's. It is an NZ assembled 1800 and, strangely enough, is rust free. Carb needs a rebuild though. The Fargo is, I think, Canadian. Here is its engine number which I think reads M13753C. https://www.allpar.com/old/fargo.html
Carsnz123 Posted December 25, 2017 Author Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Merry Christmas to all. Had some fun with a saw and rattle gun over the last couple days freeing the engine and trans from the Fargo. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxzO_Oy1EMLILXpfX2JFR2ppN28/view Referencing the vintage power wagon site I think the box is from a '41-'42 WC 1/2 ton 4x4 truck. Not the correct box for the truck. the holes cut in the floor for the gear lever with a gas axe also said that. Ratios are: 1st 6.4:1 2nd 3.1:1 3rd 1.7:1 4th 1:1 Rev 7.7:1 Engine is 3 3/8 x 4 1/2. 241cui Canadian long block. could make it a 250 with a .0625 overbore @1939_Buick The marina only delivered the trailer. Though it was used to tow a Lada 2104 on the same trailer. @Spinneyhill marina is '78 Edited December 25, 2017 by Carsnz123 (see edit history)
