Did Saginaw make stronger/wider gears for a 3.50 ratio first gear set truck 4-speed tranny?

I thought I saw a set advertised over on ebay as such??

Yes.

Thanks guy..

Back again!!

Learn something every day it seems...

Both my 3-speed Saginaw, and 3.50 ratio, 4-speed Saginaw have 9.8 metric bolts that hold the rubber tranny mount to it!!

Suckers heads are bigger then a 9/16" socket and smaller then a 5/8" 12-point socket!! I ended up using my 5/8", 6-point deepwell to re-install the mount with my 4-speed on the ground!!!

This and the 18 millimeter shock bolt wrenches I needed when I put rear shocks on my wife's old '89 Astro Van FLAT SUCK, imho!!!

I finally found a part number on my old Competition Plus 4-speed shifter I am recycling by using it in my old P/U.

Spent the better part of this morning carving a mount plate out of a 3/16" x 4" x 6" plate of cold-rolled for it so I could mount it to my new Indy 3-speed mount hardware. Worked great!!

Bttt,

After darn near polishing the plating corrosion off it I found in "little dots", JP slanted up on the left side facing you, then the Comp. Plus logo in the middle and then again slanted up in "little dots" JPS on top of PN 606-597 if I read it right?

And the old shifter had what appeared to be Saginaw shifter arms on the linkage rods??

Plus the chrome handle is solid with the shifter and there is only one adjusting bolt on it's front.

Anybody know what stock application it came from??
