OK, first thing it is wdoftexas (I had his Stovebolt name wrong - sorry Warren).
This guy is a transmission man that spent his career with General Motors. He has forgotten more than anyone I know knows about transmissions!!
And that's the answer, George! Your transmission is as good as a 54 except it's a 46.
Ken, by the way, WELCOME to the Stovebolt site. I think it is the best site on the web for Chevrolet truck information. There are alot of people on this site that know the answers to all your questions. I know! I have found all of the ansewers here to my questions, so far!! People like wdoftexas are very knowledgable and seem very eager to help at any time!
Good luck on your transmission. By now I think you probably know what you have to do!
Joe
