HEADLIGHT PLACEMENT
YES IT APPEARS TO BE VERY DIFFERENT.WHAT DO YOU ALL MAKE OF IT?
CANADA IS STILL ONE OF THE GREATEST PLACES TO BUILD A HOT ROD.NO NEED FOR ENGINEERS,OR HASSLE WITH REGISTRATION. PLUS ALL VEHICLES OVER 5500KG GVW ARE EMISSIONS EXEMPT. I'VE GOT TO GO GET A BITE TO EAT HERE BUT WHEN I GET BACK I'LL CRAWL UNDER AND CHECK FOR THE T-CASE CASTING MARKS. THOSE GUAGE RESTO'S LOOK GREAT TOO.I'LL BE INTERESTED IN SENDING YOU MY SET TO REWORK IF IT'S OK WITH YOU. AS FAR AS ENGINE CHOICE,I'M GOING TO HAVE TO THINK HARD I GUESS.I ADMIT THE FLATHEAD IS TEMPTING..BUT I'VE ALREADY GOT A 265 FLAT 6 IN MY M37.I REALISE THE V8 IT A LITTLE DIFFERENT,I'M JUST WORRIED ABOUT BREAKDOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. A FRIEND OFFERED ME A '70 429 FORD ENGINE THAT I COULD FIT WITH NO ALTERATION.THE ONLY DRAWBACK WOULD BE THE HORRIBLE MILEAGE.THATS WHY I WAS CONSIDERING THE DETROIT. WHATEVER GOES IN THERE I'LL KEEP THE STOCK TRANS. I DRIVE HEAVY TRUCKS FOR A LIVING AND I ACTUALLY PREFER AN UNSYNCHRONISED SHIFT.(MY ANTI-THEFT DEVICE) BACK IN A BIT CHEERS |
Flathead V8

Duuane
There is nothing sweeter sounding than a flathead. The one below is going into our 1944 Ford Blitz Ambulance. I obtained it out of an ex. fire truck. Refurbished the carby and dizzy, put it on the test bed and fired it up. 85-90psi on all pots, 55psi oil pressure and when idling at 200rpm still had 30psi. No modern engine will idle that low. And the sound was orgasmic. Vrooommm Vrooommm. And instruments - no problem. Bob |
T-CASE MARKS
OK I GOT UNDER THE BEST I COULD AS IT'S BEEN POURING RAIN HERE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.I COULDNT SEE ANY CASTING MARKS AT ALL,FORD OR GM.
WHERE ARE THE MARKS YOU'VE SEEN?ON TOP? GET ME IN THE BALLPARK AT LEAST... THANKS |
Marks
Hi! Photos of GM transfer cases show that the marks were visible from the rear on the rear face of the casing, viewd from the back.

What rain???
Do you guys get rain out there much?????
I thought you would be used to that rain by now and all you BCers would use a scuba diver's camera....... ....hihihihi |
RAINING MOOSE AND BEAVER...
THERE'S A CANADIAN METAPHOR FOR YA.

I SPEND 12 HOURS A DAY 10 MONTHS A YEAR COVERED IN CONCRETE SPATTER AND DIESEL SOOT.ON A GOOD DAY I GET 6 HOURS OF QUALITY TIME IN THE SHOP,COVERED IN 40 YEARS OF ROAD GRIME AND LEAKY REAR MAIN SEAL. OUT COLD FOR 4 HOURS AND I'M GOOD TO GO ANOTHER ROUND.OH,AND 2 HOURS FOR SSS&F. THIS YEAR I FINNALY STARTED BUYING USED COVERALLS FOR AROUND THE SHOP HERE,AND AS IT HAPPENS THE FIRST NAME TAGS SAID DUANE. WELL,I GUESS MY CHUCKLEHEAD FRIENDS(I LOVE THEM SO...) THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY. "ALL YOU NEED NOW IS THE MULLET.." AND THE LIKE. SO "DUUANE" HAS SORT OF STUCK WITH ME AND HAS BECOME MY EVIL TWIN OF SORTS.(IT WASN'T ME...IT WAS JACK DANIELS..ERR UHH DUUANE,YEAH ...IT WAS DUUANE.) 80%REDNECK,20%SAVANT. AND SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT IN CHARGE OF ACCOUNTS RECIEVABLE. BUT I AM THE WET COAST KID..AND LIKE THE MOOSE AND BEAVER I PREFER IT WET. 8-] NOW I'M GOING TO GO LIE IN A PUDDLE AND LOOK FOR CASTING MARKS. CHEERS |

OK...I CANT SEE ANY MARKS AT ALL.
HERE'S SOME MORE PICS. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SWEARS IT'S A '40 OR '41 MODEL. HE ALSO SAID THAT HE KNOWS WHERE ANOTHER ONE IS CLOSE TO HIM THAT I CAN GET FOR THE SAME DEAL. |

Another odd thing on the way to the forum
1 Attachment(s)
I can see another odd difference. The PTO cover with the breather is a different shape. Could this be a Chev cap on a Ford case? (Only Ford two speed cases have the bolt on bracket for the shifter tower). The oil filler plugs are at different locations, resulting in different volumes of oil. Perhaps this is an Early/Late production difference?

OK I GOT OUT THE WIRE BRUSH AND SANDPAPER AND MANAGED TO FIND THE T-CASE #'S.
C 1101880 2 B-X IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME. MAYBE BOB MOSLEY CAN WORK SOME MORE OF HIS MAGIC WITH THIS PHOTO. THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE... |
C11Q-19802 B
Standard Ford two-speed transfer case number (1st series).
|
Part #?
Tony, would that be a 'C11Q-' prefixed number? It appears as though whilst the Ford case is broadly similar to the GM McKinnon one, and may have included as with the GM design, Timken bearings, they differed externally. I suggest at this stage that whilst McKinnons supplied Ford in the early days, Ford's axle plant in Windsor produced their own version to the overall design. Are the Ford and GM cases interchangeable in any way?
|
Interchangability
The number C11Q-19802 B is for the case casting, not the whole T/C assembly. There was a later casting with the part number C29Q-19802 S which featured a larger oil sump, similar to the Chev case I've pictured above.
The complete Ford and Chev cases, either in the case of 15cwt single speed transfer cases or the two-speed cases, will physically swap between Ford and Chev. All mounting points, controls and driveshafts are in the same locations. There are some complications in putting a Chev 2-speed Case into a Ford as the Ford 2-speed case has it's shifter mounted on a bracket bolted to the side of the case. The Chev 2-speed has it's shifter on a bracket on a chassis crossmember. Internally, the gears, shafts, bearings, shims and gaskets SEEM to be interchangable as the parts books list both Ford and Chev numbers for the same parts, however I have never dissambled a case and reassembled it with parts from another case, so I can't say for sure. |
Chevrolet version
http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/...ansfercase.jpg
This is an official shot of a case off a C15A, # 11 or 12 Cab. It would appear that the C15A case has a similar casting to the Ford's, although the 2-speed GM McKinnon one has significant differences. |
Chev cases
1 Attachment(s)
Here is the rear view of the Chev 2-speed. While the cover on the C15A 11/12 cab has more ribs, the main case appears very similar. In fact the Ford case, like DUUANE's, is quite different in appearance with the built up section on the side for the shift bracket being the quickest to ID a Ford case.

Cab 11 C30 T/C
1 Attachment(s)
Pictured is a pic of Max Hedge's 1941 Chev Cab 11 C30 Transfer Case. This is the earliest Chev CMP that I have seen and , by David's suggestion, is probably fitted with a GM/McKinnon transfer (although with 65 years of crud on it, it's hard to find any casting marks until Max cleans it up). This Cab 11, like all other Chevs I have seen, has the two-speed shifter tower mounted to a bracket that bolts to the crossmember. What is unusual, it has the case mounts for the Ford-style shifter that mounts onto the case, BUT IS NOT DRILLED AND TAPPED FOR THIS BRACKET! It would seem that the cases were manufactured to be used by either manufacturer, and this one happened to go to Chevrolet. At some later stage, Chev cases dropped the inclusion of this bracket mount.
A less startling observation is the presence of two fill plugs on this case as well, a high one above the centre bearing cap, and a mid-height one to the left of the bearing cap. This could possibly be in David's Black and White pic, but shadow makes it hard to see the top plug. We have seen varing positions of fill plugs on different cases, but why have two different levels or volumes of oil for one case? |
Suggestion?
I wonder if McKinnons produced the castings for the cases, as they had a foundry, and McKinnon and Fords then added in their own gears etc.?
|
grease tube ?
on Duuane's photo dated 3 feb there is a tube? coming from the centre bearing cap. can some one tell me what it is
thanks greg |

The 4X2 models had the drive coming off the gearbox, but all 4X4 and up had it on the tranny case. There's a small helical gear on the idler shaft to drive it. |

Having digested and understood all this info on Transfer Cases, we now know how to ID the various types, right? In that case, this one should prove a cinch to recognise! Well, no, not really! It really breaks all the rules. But have a go anyway, the answer will have you stumped:confused: :mad: :devil: :teach:
|
wouldn't happen to be a GMC-CCKW transfer case in a C60X would it? :salute:
|
Something wrong with this picture
It looks like for some reason the transfer case and frame member have been reversed. Tried reversing the photo to see if it had been just been flipped but several things look wrong.
Was this a conversion to fork lift or other rear steering application? |
Hmmmm
That's a Ford gearbox on the top left... and you've just been to NZ... could it be in a Ford Indian Pattern armoured car?
The drive from the gearbox is going into the power take-off shaft, but the handbrake is in the normal place - the angle of the driveshafts suggests a short wheelbase chassis - it looks to be rear-engined by the layout mentioned... I didn't know those armoured cars had a two speed transfer case though - I can't see the arm for the shifter tower - has it been a replacement? |
Re: Puzzler

My guess is that this vehicle has had the engine moved to the rear and driving into the rear of the transfer box and is perhaps a CMP converted into a mobile crane? Richard |
