Re: First year 4-speed?
I think it was 1957 mid way through the production year.

Re: First year 4-speed?
If you look here http://www.348-409.com/1959factpage.html and check the 59 higlights they list 4 speed, I do not see it in earlier years.
I will keep digging, I am staying with 59.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: First year 4-speed?
Actually, I think 1958 was the first year you could get a 4-speed in the full size Chevrolets.
They show it as an option in the 1958 literature and I remember my Dad saying he was disappointed it was offered a year after he ordered his new 1957.

Re: First year 4-speed?
There is an RPO # listed for '58 but with no pricing. I don't believe any were made at the factories. My opinion is that they were shipped in the car for the dealer to install. I have a TSB somewhere that lists all the parts required to do the conversion.
