Thinking of picking up a 1956 gmc truck hydramtic to put behind my 1954 to get the open driveshaft. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 1,299 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 1,299 | There are different model hydra-matic transmissions that came from the different sizes of trucks. I suspect that your original bellhousing and torrus, along with the flywheel would bolt on to the front of the Pontiac transmission but could not say with any authority. Maybe someone who has been around more of the different manufacturer transmissions would know for sure. I would check with either restoratiohydramatics.com or areds.com. There are others also I am sure but that is a place to start. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,746 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,746 | The I6 bellhousing will definitely be different than the one for the Pontiac V8. The obsolete transmission people I have been dealing with for 30+ years is FATSCO transmission parts in New Jersey. Check out their website, and give their tech department a call- - - -they really know what they're talking about! https://www.fatsco.net/Good people to deal with! Jerry

Yoke being the hardest thing for me to find as i have been searching for the open drive shaft trans for awhile. Seeing what would be compatible as I always like having extra parts on hand.
Thanks Jerry Ill reach out to them and talk to them, still looking for a few parts for this build. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2019 Posts: 439 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2019 Posts: 439 | big bolt 4 speed would give you the open drive shaft wouldnt it if you are doing a rear end swap.

If you are missing one component, you'll need an abundance of the others two.
