Hey RJ,
According to my Chevy Inline 6 reference guide, the LAQ ID does indicate that this was originally in a 53 Belair hooked up to a powerglide. I believe that you can install this engine with a powerglide into your truck, however since the original rear mounting for the engine was to the clutch bellhousing, you will need to fabricate or purchase another rear mounting set-up. Not terribly up on this part but some of the other members have done this or something similar and they will chime in with more info.
