The most common is from 55 through 60. You can also use an overdrive from those years. Later models with the short tail shaft will fit also. Full syncro Saganaw 3 speeds came out in 68 and can also be used. You will have to work out some shifter and driveshaft issues but there are many options. I understand that a kit is available to use a saganaw 3 speed with the torque tube. There are others that can provide that info.
