Someone told me that the 3:55 ring and pinion conversion being sold by vendors is actually the same 3:55 R&P that was used in early Powerglide equipped vehicles.

Is that true?

Not even close. The passenger car ring and pinion is smaller, and will not fit the trucks. Some guys have adapted the whole '50-'54 PG rear end and torque tube to the earlier trucks however.
