Chev Nut Registered: 01/08/02 Posts: 14900 Loc: West Allis,Wi.	For a 1939 you will need a "center section" from a 1937-1939. I you are looking for a higher gear ratio get a center section from a car in those years with a sold front axle. They had a 3.73 ratio where as the Master Deluxe had a 4,22 ratio. The later gears are different where the drive shaft connects to the pinion gear. _________________________ Chevgene
