The commercial pattern shifter and yrans are similar I think if not the same.
A friend of mine has a trans for sale out of a 2 ton commercial truck from the 40s which might work. Cheap too.

More info
Chris,
The transmission itself checks out quite well, also the rear shifter unit. My issue is with the front shifter column. I suspect/hope that you are right about the sharing of parts, i.e. the commercial Fords of the same era. The transmission that your friend has, does it still have the shifter column ? any chance of a picture ? Charlie, I've attached a couple of pictures of the tranny, linkage and front shifter. Thanks, Peter IMG_1698.jpg IMG_1699.jpg

Thanks
Grant,
Thanks for your suggestion about the Vanpelt and Greensales sites. I wasn't aware of theses outfits. Looks as if they've got all the parts that I need to rebuild the front shifter mechanism, plus a few more that were on my wish list. Peter

Mockup
Guys,
Due to the limited space in the drivers space (ergonomics was not the first priority with CMP designs) I used a chunk of plywood as a template of the front floor to dry fit some of the operators controls and see how all the bits and pieces that I've acquired/ salvaged/ had fabricated, fit together. Highlights what is missing, but still feels like progress. Peter IMG_1702.jpg IMG_1708.jpg IMG_1703.jpg

Visitors beware
Guys,
A good friend, Mike Hopkins, came for a week long visit and found himself pulling wrenches in the garage. Quickly sorted out the gear shifter and linkage issues, then we replaced all the wheel brake cylinders. Fortunately our wives are understanding and limited their shopping sprees. With luck the frame and undercarriage will be off to be painted next week. Peter IMG_1713 (2).jpg

Peter,
It's coming together really well! You're making great progress. Keep the updates coming. Do you have a date in mind for the final roll out? Perry
