The '53 Powerglide 235 crankshaft will not accept a stock pilot bearing, since a Powerglide doesn't use a pilot bearing.. There is somewhere (I don't recall where) that sells one that works, or one can have the crankshaft end precision drilled to the correct diameter to accept a stock pilot bearing.
(Just in case anyone gives two spits...)
