Hi Ken,
I highly recommend replacing the ball joint seals while you have it apart.
A gasket kit is available from the Filling Station (
www.fillingstation.com ) and others. Just put one in a '54 last week.

Subject: [oletrucks] Transmission Seals
I've got a '50 chevy 3100 with a three speed tranny - column shift. I've
pulled the transmission to replace the rear engine seal, etc. Wondering if
there
are seals on these old transmissions that I need to replace before putting
it
back into the truck? The transmission shifted fine and did not leak prior
to
dropping it. Also, there is a cork gasket that fits between the rear of the
tranny and the universal joint torque tube. I can't find that gasket but I
know I can easily make one. The one that I'm questioning is the rubber
o-ring
looking gasket that sits inside the tube up against the cover of the
u-joint.
Any suggestions on were to get one of those? Thanks a mil.
Ken
