The 39 has the torque tube drive shaft but doesnt seem as though that would be an issue. Here are the numbers D297 Chevy Bowtie 590474

(look at your thumb) Then check the PTO your asking about and you will have your answer. If it won't fit you can use the information gathered to get a new PTO. Model information on a transmission that age will not be useful as the books/programs don't go back that far but a good PTO specialist can fill your order using the information I've shown you here. | | |
