Also you didn't say if this bellhousing is for a six cylinder or a V8. Could you post a picture? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 1,094 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 1,094 | It's a v8 bell housing. Suposed to be 60-67, some of the mounting ears are angled and some are straight.Was just wondering if it would work on a 59. I don't have a pic.

The later 60s went back to the throwout arm on the left side. The bellhousing should have angled mounts, throwout arm slot on the left side, and a single bolt hole (threaded) in the angled mounting pad, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 346 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 346 | This bellhousing will fit a '59 truck. 3815891 bellhousing Another one. Cleaned up 3815891. The album contains a photo of a 392505 which has the larger center hole for new transmission options but is otherwise the same. 3815891 bellhousing
