1967 L600-np540 transmission

Post by BuffaloJoe »

I need some help with transmission for a 1967 L600. The engine & NP540 were gone when I got the truck. Two rods are still attached to the shifter in the cab. I have a 540 in a parts truck. Anyone have a picture of the rest of the linkage? Is the top of the 540 different for the L600? A litt help would nice. Thanks Ron

When you say different I assume you have one from a D/W series truck with the shifter on the top. If so I seem to remember the cab over style trucks had a different top on trans due to the rods going to stand alone shifter that was mounted ahead between seats. So I would say No if that is what trans you have. :thinking :thinking

The NP540 is in a D400, shifter on top. Does anyone know the part # for the correct transmission top? Or does anyone have a 540 transmission for this truck? Thanks Ron
