Muncie 21 you mean a 4 speed car transmission? The cars used one piece aluminum bell housings since the early 60's I believe. Earlier cars had the open bottom housings like the many of the truck have...The bottom pans are all similar but not necessarily will interchange . To get the correct one you may need the casting number off the housing...Or buy one that looks close and modify it to fit... It only needs to keep out the big stuff...
I ran a truck without a cover until a large rag decided to get tangled up inside blocking the clutch action..A lot of fun with a torch burning away the rag..
