I own both a 1951 Plymouth Cambridge & a 1949 Dodge 3/4 ton pickup. Both have the OE flathead 6 engines & stock drivetrains and both are in great condition. I am a big believer in synthetics...in fact I use Mobil-1 in both engines. BUT, in the transmissions and rear differentials, I use any good non-synthetic. The three brands listed in the post immediately above this one would be plenty good. Mine both have 75W-90, either Castrol or Pennzoil in the rears. I've got some old SAE 50 Pennzoil motor oil in the Plymouth's transmission...probably not the best. Of the current available for the 3-speed, the GL4 or GL4/5 gear oil would likely be correct.
