It could have had a cast iron Powerflyte, two speed, or a cast iron torqueflyte three speed, with no park on either one Look at the pushbuttons or on the dash shifter and see what it shows If it has a N,D,L. and R button it is a two speed powerflyte, if it has D,2,1,N and R it is a torqueflyte Let us know what you find Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Two tone gold and white hood and the top of the cab. No motor, but the trans and axle , drive shaft are all still in it. Im thinking i would have to some new style peddle. Those straight push brake and gas are funky. I wonder of i could use the assemly out of my valiant and the mastrr cylinder? Would make one super cool hot rod for sure.

I kept the rear drums (2 bleeders, elliptical adjuster cams, nightmare) The brake pedal ratio had to be changed to run a dual pot master under ths floor which also ended up needing residual pressure valves. I ended up using a 'rusty hope' disc brake kit to update the front straight axle. As much as I had to change to get that thing acceptable now that it's gone I miss it (sold) I want to do another one with a stroked rb some day. Go for it it'll be a great truck when you're done!
