Okay no good on that dorman 4522 choice above from the specs provided. I will try to get mine out this week, hot here and see what I have. I may even go with a new clutch which might give me the alignment tool ( at least last one I did came with it).

A couple of questions.
When checking what fits on automotive website because I have an odd year 1955.1 versus 1955.2 is the general procedure for me to enter in a 1954 pickup 3100 instead to avoid confusion with fitment?

I read up using the 1954 Chevrolet Truck Shop Manual link above. It says I will be lifting the 3 speed trans out thru the floor, I was expecting to lower it down from the bottom based on my past jobs although this is my first AD trans removal for me. Is that the correct way?
