Hi all. I just bought a '57 Cameo pickup, proclaimed by the out-of-state sellers to have "transmission trouble". Turns out the "transmission trouble" is that it has no transmission. It does have the 3 speed column shift stuff and original 283. Can you tell me what are the proper match-ups as I search for a tramsmission for bolt-in applicatiaon on the 283? Also, who are you guys using for good chrome plating? Anybody got a radio for this truck for sale? Thanks for any and all help.
