I'm pretty sure the tranny is original 53'. Got the truck out today for a few warm up laps and it is running OK but not fantastic after sitting covered up all winter. A great deal of humidity has collected and minor rust is showing up. darn. I jst don't feel like puting the spit shine on it again this year.

Thanks for the info gentlemen.
