Quote:

There are no direct transmission interchanges. Packard used the same bolt pattern as the pre-'65.5 Fords and '57-66 Studebakers. However, the input shaft and tailshaft are different.

Be aware, you'll need the bellhousing, flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing and fork, pilot bearing and shifter linkage. If overdrive, get all that cable, wiring, governor and solenoid.

Thanks Jack.

Today was pretty cool I went over a man who had to shed full worth of Packard parts. He said that he took three four-door Packard cars and took them down to the frame and has been storing them to sell. He was a Packard man. Well I dug through his shed and I could not find the Distributors even though he said they were there somewhere. I did however find rims and I have a question about them. I noticed that not all rims look the same somewhere 7in wide and others were wider below is a picture of one that I measure the diameter of, he has about 8 rims. One other big question that I have is about the radiator that I should be using in my 55, this man had three or four radiators and I'm going to show you some pictures of them as well. Thanks guys.
