Mike, while we wait to see the new pic of your casting numbers mentioned above, you should take another look at a different point on the transmission case. The pic below shows the location of the "stamped" transmission unit serial numbers on the SM420 4 speed, as indicated in the 1955 2nd Series Truck Shop Manual. Take a picture of yours (wire brushing/cleaning as needed of course) and post that picture too. Once we have both pictures to review,we should be able to best pinpoint what you have.
