I want to know about the first picture. What is it out of? It is a hydra-matic with torque tube style transmission but the trans oil pan has an odd dip stick on it.

I believe it is a 1954 frame the engine is a F54M but it is frozen.
About the Hydra-Matic dip stick fill tube, I had the same question
because it was the 2nd truck I had seen with this type of dip stick.
I called Gene at Restorationhydramatics.com and he said
Cadillac was the only Hydra-Matics that where pan filled (no smoke stack on case)
Here is a
picture of the tag on the side of the case.
C-54 3807? Maybe C stands for Cadillac. Black tag,not orange.
Gene said he uses gun powder in the cylinders to free up a frozen engine (hopefully the tranny is in neutral)
You can not separate the tranny from the engine unless you can rotate the engine to unbolt the torus cover from the flywheel.
Someone said they use Coca-Cola to free up the pistons.
