Hy lancer70, the bellhousing you need was available starting with the 1955B or second series that were V8 equipped, those were used up to 1959. the 1960 through 1962 trucks used a hydraulic clutch with the throwout arm coming out of the right side of the bellhousing. Beginning in 1963 and continuing to 1968 I believe the iron bellhousings had a larger opening for the throwout arm, but they will work for positioning the V8 engine in the 1955B through 1959 chassis. If your truck did not come from the factory with a V8, then you will need a front of engine mount kit, HP122 from Jim Carter will do that job. V8 throttle linkage will also be required Jim Carter has their part number HP142 which will do that. Hope that helps.
