Well, we're all borderline or full on nuts, right? My 61 C20 down to her underwear getting the full cab floor surgery, and I impulsively snatch up a 55 (2nd) 3600. Couldn't help myself! Never had an auto tranny before, I'm looking at a shift indicator that has N, 1-3, 1-2, 1-1 and R markings. The tranny is physically huge. But would only have 2 speeds? Also, trying to figure correct carb. It came with 2, both Rochesters, looks like a BC and a BV? Which one is right? Or neither? Thanks, Ray

Can you post a link to a photo of the 1955-2nd shift indicator? If it is an original optional automatic truck transmission, it would be a Hydra-Matic (4 forward speeds).

At least 4 automatic transmission options were available on 1961 trucks (with 2 to 6 forward gears).
