Where on the tranny would there be casting numbers or ID Plate or something?
Thanks in advance....

If it has the long tail shaft (22" overall) it could be from a 55-61 truck or 55-57 car.
If it has the short tail shaft (17" overall) it could be from a 62-67 truck or 58-67 car. There is a date code on the tail housing along with some casting numbers. A date code like: A 15 0 would be Jan 15, 1960. There are some minor differences between car and truck transmissions such as the side cover and the lower mounting holes. 6 cyl and V-8 transmissions were the same in that era.
