Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines HELP! Need CRITICAL Part - Need HELP to ID!

This is the part I NEED: The part is the U-Joint Bushing support, 4" diameter cast-steel donut-shaped metal piece that the end of the u-joint slides into and which is fitted w/brass collar in center of hole (the whole thing/Torque Tube plugs into back of the tranny (3-Speed 1/2 ton chevy '48-'54).

APPARENTLY: You can't find this piece w/out exploding the entire CRANK CASE?!! So, Anyone know where i could get this w/out buying a whole new/old tranny just to rip it out?

Guess I could get it custom-milled?!!!

HELP.

Hank, It sounds like you are referring to the Rear Bearing Support. If so contact Tim Tygart's Obsolete Chevy parts in GA.
He carrys NOS parts. He has a web site, but I've had better luck just calling.
