42:49 3rd gear blocker ring has worn on the inside cone causing it to be pressed onto the cone of third gear. The repair would be to replace both blocker rings and clutch dogs that the slider slides on. Also on the new blocker rings, using a small jewelers file, cut 3 or 4 grooves 90* to the ring to allow more oil to lube the cone area.
Thanks. I’m not a fan of channels that cut out the problems and struggles. It give people unrealistic expectations of what car building is actually like.
Ha ha reminds me of 58 yrs ago...us kids thought we had tranny trouble in a 40 ford we changed clutch /pressure plate etc transmission seemed to work but no go ...an older brother watching us try the trans for the umpteenth time started laughing ...we finally got him to show us what was wrong..here the key was sheared on the drivers side axle...we drove in a big nail for a key and off we went! .
@@LGKustoms I will tell you a secret that you probably won't believe. The 9 inch from a full size 77 Lincoln Mark V with disc brakes will fit under that 47 nicely. I have put one under a 41 sedan before but I converted the rear suspension to parallel leaf springs when I did it. Most people assume that big Mark V axle is way too wide for anything and if you see one in a salvage they almost always still have the rear axle under them.
Last year I wanted a truck to use for work on the property and to haul my fishing boat down to the Strait. I bought a maintenance neglected 1991 F150 with an exhaust manifold gasket leak for $850. Over the last year the engine was replaced because of hairline cracks in the head and a pinhole in the block. When it rains, you're going to be poor... The last transmission I dropped was on my 1964 Falcon station wagon. Before I could get back to replace it my sister and her husband, at the time, stole and sold it. That was 35 years ago, and I cannot let it go.
Lol to funny. I can’t believe those ibeams Bent wow. Yeah the syncro broke and jammed they do that the only brass. Easy fix though. Awesome video Those hose cutters are awesome
Hi Lee and Shannon , Wired Customs did a you tube video rebuilding a '47 Ford transmission about a year ago . Hope you may find it helpful . Lori laughed again about no 3rd gear . Her , no you can't get out of 4 low problem seems to have disappeared for now . 2 high and 4 high is all okey dokie .... she says it's gremlins .
Like you the more toys you have the more time you need. And what to do first. I go for the easy fix first. But then there’s Stacey’s car that I always help fix. It might as well be my car as I spend my money on it. But that’s what dads are for. Right. always look forwards to your content Lee. You have a calm warm feel to you that gets the job dun. Many thanks Tim.
Shannon and Lee I wish I was coming over for the gnrs , but sadly not this year. I’ve been trying to make it happen but you carnt do everything. I wanted to get over to see the head scratcher. Skratch from Texas amazing coupe. Make sure you have comfortable shoes. There’s a lot of walking. Have a great time.
You have a lot on your plate but eventually if it was my truck I would have hydraulic lines of the kind that go on a tractor made up so that you can get rid of those rubber hoses clamped onto metal tubing. The factory trans lines from the dealer are expensive and aluminum and I don't like them so I replaced the ones on one of my Cummins Dodge trucks (the 96) with hydraulic hoses. That was 18 years ago and no leaks. Glad to hear you have a source for another trans for the '47. As easy as you made it look to pull it out you should have it on the road again next weekend.
aaaaaaaaaahhhhh! the life of a mechanic. take a deep breathe, go hang out with Shannon! stay with the 32. its a cool ride. the 47 can set awhile. find a trans. hang in there.
Grey Corolla and take up fishing 🎣 at least you should get something for your effort 😂 But like you I now have a 32 Ford to work on and no time for a Corolla. Maybe later when I’m old.
Hard to see my TH-cam ID pic but that's a 72 crew cab 4x4 Ranger but short bed had same door panels and woodgrain accents as yours was even same brown originally it came from US and was a old Budweiser company truck had faded signage still showing on the doors, I swapped in a IDI 7.3 and C6.
Serious bummer about the "I" beam in the truck. You just wouldn't think that would happen by jacking it up , but like you said , the Cummins are pretty damn heavy and so is the rest of the truck.
I often think of a grey Toyota Corolla when a project evolves into much more than anticipated…390 w. C6 would be nice in that old pile, but then another project out of control..front end, rear end etc., etc….
Don't feel bad about the swing axles, like you said, they can be straightened. I did something similiar to my Subaru only it was the body crossmember. It can't be fixed that easily so I just keep driving it and all seems to be ok. Talk about feeling dumb.
Lee, Love your channel, you are an easy watch. Plus I love seeing all the flatheads. Are you planning on getting the 47 painted this year? You are one talented guy.
Too bad that transmission problem was a bigger thing than expected, but thats the way things usually are. Done that, been there etc. Well, life is not boring with these things, like it could be with the gray Toyotas.
Twice is close enough to correct. Cummins is about 1200 pounds and a 390 is about 700 pounds which is about 150 pounds more than a flathead so the ole 47 sedan wouldn't gain much in weight with that 390 in it and with a cam and aluminum intake and headers it would easily explode that stock rear axle !!!
Just kidding about needing a good mechanic in the area. Just started watching you videos, both past and present, and enjoy the informative content as I’m the proud new owner of a 46 Mercury 8 👍

Thanks for watching! I’m not sure how the shirt sizes are in the UK. Canada uses the same system as the US. I wear a medium, I’m 5’9” 170lbs. But that probably doesn’t mean anything to you either haha
If you want to put a small block Chevy in the sedan and keep the 3 on the tree I have that adapter with Chevy flywheel drilled for the Ford truck pressure plate and the starter snout etc. I would sell or trade. Buckling those I beams had to suck, I hate breaking stuff when you’re just trying to fix it. Good episode btw.

Thanks for the tips! I ordered two new synchro rings and the “rebuild kit” for it.
@@LGKustoms Shouldn't be that hard to rebuild. If you want look into the blocker ring mod. I first learned about it on M21 GM 4 speed boxes.
I admire your spirit! You face problems with positive thoughts when many would toss in the towel. Excellent attitude under pressure,
Thanks haha. Throwing in the towel isn’t an option. If I don’t fix these cars, nobody else will. And walking sucks 😆
Enjoy your narration and the type of cars you work on. Keep them coming
Thank you!
The tongue comment is spot on . I remember when i was young, my neighbor friend always had it out when doing a project.
Perseverance pays. Good luck. Love that you don’t cut out problems you come across. We learn more this way.
Thanks. I’m not a fan of channels that cut out the problems and struggles. It give people unrealistic expectations of what car building is actually like.
I know I've said this before, but don't EVER change the look of that '47; it's perfection on a stick!!!
It’ll be even more prefect with three gears!
See you @ GNRS 2023!
I’m excited! First time!
Thanks for sharing, good luck on a tranny search!
Never did find a replacement, but I ordered a new synchro repair kit yesterday.
Never a weekend with nothing to do, but there are weekends when I do nothing.
I hope motor trend picks you up and gives you your own show!
Ha! Thanks! That would be pretty cool
I don't, I would have to pay for Motor Trend, u-tube I get free.
Nice job on the Cummins Ford Truck!
Thank you

Thank goodness this isn’t smell-a-vision. Between the diesel and gear lube STINKY!!! Be safe and have fun at GNRS
Thanks! I’m looking forward to it!
Put another trans in, and LEAVE the flathead in, that's what makes that car....:-)
For sure! Simple to put in and button up!
Ordered new synchros today for the transmission.
Man, sometimes (always?) it's 3 steps forward and 2 steps back! I have no doubt you'll get 'er done though! Have fun in Cali!
Just gonna keep plugging away, it’ll all get fixed eventually haha

Yea proper hydraulic hoses was my plan if it was something more than a loose hose clamp. If it starts leaking again, that’ll probably be the solution.

Haha yea I’ve often wondered what non car people do on the weekends
Shift happens 😂😂see what I did there 😂😂
Haha! Amazing
The Cummins might weigh twice what the 390 did.
It might! I weighed the truck before the swap, but haven’t weighed it since.
