Just got rid of my 58' single cab and got a 60' rag top.

Noticed there's two fill plugs on the left instead of one, and a fill
plug on the right as well....?

While doing a fluid change I remove both the plugs under the trans to drain...right?. And which one of the plugs do I remove on the side to fill?

I've been a bus guy forever...a buses with post 67' trans'

Sorry for the dumb Q's


Thanks,
Tom

There are two drain plugs, as you have found. Yes, drain from both. Only one fill plug, it's the one on the right side approximately in line with the front drain plug. I believe they're all 19mm.

The 2 on the left are not fill plugs, they are to adjust the transmission internals. The split-case fill plug is on the right side, opposite from later tunnel-case transmissions.
