Hello Phillip:
Great to have you here. I live in the Memphis area, but come over to Smith Lake for family gatherings once or twice a year. I actually bought my 261 & 4 speed transmission from a gentleman northeast of Huntsville this past Thanksgiving, and about have it ready to install in my 1953 1/2 ton.
Shoot me a private message when you get a minute, maybe I can stop by and see your truck when I'm in the area next.
Patrick
