Looks sweet.
Google returns this "solution":
I have a car that sticks after sitting.
The way I get it loose get it warmed up good,then aim the car in a safe direction and crank it in 1st gear.
When it starts,it will take off!Keep the clutch pedal to the floor and bounce the throttle.
Does it every time.

The PO's idea was to tow it around to try and play around with it to break it free. No such luck last night, but we'll keep trying.
Another idea was to jack up the rear, have it running and "driving", and then drop the jack. Didn't seem like a super safe plan...
Did you check any cables or similar to make sure they're moving and not broken? I'm not too familiar with 40s technology, but from a troubleshooting standpoint that's where I'd start.
Oh and btw, sweet ride!
Thanks,

The jack idea for some reason does not sound like a good idea.

one way or another, you basically have to shock the clutch. I don't really know that a 'safe' way to do it without a lot of wrenching exists.

Could be pressure plate pieces. Either way small metal pieces in there probably means there's a piece stuck between something and has it locked. When the spring broke on my TDI the clutch was locked.

I will talk to a friend of mine that specializes in that vintage of old truck. There has to be a safer way to do this task.
its just like any other trans removal except you can unbolt your floorpan to get more access. Your gear box is bolted from the inside like a C4. (Divorced Bellhousing) So you will need to yank it all at once.
Talked to my friend about the clutch and when he drove his for the first few times he drove it around a farmers field till the clutch free'd up. It took a few weeks of shocking the clutch and spraying down the linkage with AC Delco Heat riser pentrant spray.
He went thru Coker for the tires.
Pardon the spelling way over tired.
It always feel good to get something running again. Was the linkage froze up or did it just need adjustment?
