I just don't understand that dipstick tube on the transmission for a 54 Chevy truck. I have seen it done before but I thought it was from an add on trans pan from a Pontiac or a Cadillac or something like that. Any details you can give? Does it still have the original short dipstick in the top of the trans also?
Gene said the Hydra-Matic center cases are all the same. The front and tail housings are what is different, depending on what engine
and drive shaft your using, determines what kind of front and tail housings the auto manufacture would use. Someone just used a Cadillac center case when the old one went belly-up. There is no short dip stick on a Cadillac Hydra-Matic case. Check out pic
