I was told that in 54 it was the 1st year for an automatic in a chevy pickup, however, the power glide wasn't strong enough so GM used a Olds automatic transmission? Anyway, Reverse is clear down at the bottom and Reverse is also park. it does have an enclosed drive shaft and the starter has 9 teeth? I may just try to have this starter rebuilt to 12 volts if it is possible...
