47-54 Chevy Truck 4-speed tranny Question...? #579818 10/02/2009 2:04 PM

Would this (1947-54 Chevrolet Truck 4-speed) tranny bolt right up and be a good replacement for the 3spd? I am also thinking about having a 235 rebuilt and putting it in the truck to replace the 216. Its on Ebay right now #230383183319. Any info would help thanks.
