Here is a web site I found that provides some very good details about early BW T-10's. According to the info shown, your ID decodes as:

W = Warner Transmission (manufacturer)
C = March (month of build)
5 = 5th day of March (day of the month built)
5 = 1965 (production year) *
3 = 3rd shift (shift of the day that built it)

* According to the listed production/use years being 1957-65 for Chevy's, I think the only plausible choice would be that year.

The tail housing date code I believe is actual 1964 based on the above note. It's may not be original to the transmission. Something used to repair/replace damaged or worn out parts which is common.

The site also shows other details such as drive ratios in each gear. Hope the info provides the help you needed. wink
