I made this swap on my '50 and the reduction in vibration is very noticeable. You will need to ream the mounting holes about 1/8" it is a close fit, easy swap. https://www.flickr.com/photos/advance-design_parts_co/8129099972/in/album-72157631867396207/ 1950 Chevrolet 3/4-Ton 3600 More pictures on Flickr
