When I rebuilt the non-synchro from my 52 PW,
There was some obvious gear wear. I replaced the big cluster and one other gear, along with the bearings and seals. The truck only had about 27k miles.
It had been a vfw truck so I am sure there were all sorts of people trying to drive it who ground the gears.
I thought it will be a good challenge to learn how to shift it properly, and would be a reason to tell friends/relatives that sorry, they can't drive it because it is non-synchro! haha
