I would more likely ASSuME that the tranny was installed with the Cummins. I
believe that most Early 70's Gassers had the old six speed allison. Most low hp
6BT-5.9's had the 5-series allison, unless they were optioned for a heavier
application (trash truck?) in which case they would have the 6-series. However,
i would also expect that those heavier applications would have been intercooled
for the additional power. So I would assume it to be a 5-series.
Another drawback to the 5-series, an exhaust brake will not be very useable as
there is too much slippage.

The seller doesn't know which tranny is in there?
If not, did they ever service it? hmm.

Good luck.

So the question is, what are the odds the auto tranny that's in there is
a 545 or other NON "locker" tranny, stock from the critter's gasser days?


What trannies were in the Wanderlodge gassers of the '70s?
