I emailed boyce, who specialize in the deuce and a half, and got this response:
The pickup bell housings will not fit the transmission. They will bolt up to
some of the C60 bellhousings you mite try to find a copy of last months JP
magazine they did a article on the 3053 going into a Chevy.
Thanks,

> Hi there, I have a lead on a spicer 3053-A 5 speed transmission for
relatively cheap. I am interested in using this in my '60 Chevy C60
Ramp/tow truck, behind either a 350 small block chev or a 6.5 Chevy Diesel.
I'm curious if the spicer will bolt into the bellhousing from an SM420 or
SM465 truck transmission, and if not, which bellhousing will I need to use
to adapt the spicer to a GM engine? As far as I know the 6.5 and 350 have
the same bellhousing pattern. Thanks for your help.
