LT,

Welcome aboard. The V-8 truck bellhousing is different than the passenger car.

0.863 HOUSING, Flywheel and Clutch

55-59 COMM., UTIL. (8 cyl.)....... clutch (cast 3733373)................p/n 3742055

This is from the '59 parts book.

Around 61 or 62 they went to a hydraulic clutch that placed the slave cylinder on the passenger side of the bellhousing.

The easiest way to spot one of these is the truck bellhousing has reinforcing ribs on the two upper transmission bolt holes. Passenger doesn't have the ribs.
