Transmission was rebuilt 15-16 years ago but only had 20k maybe miles on it. Just part of owning and driving a classic truck.

Exact thing happened years ago on my 65 plymouth. Wife had the car out on a hot day, called and said it was smoking really bad all of a sudden. She pulled to the side of the road and waited for me. I could see the line of fluid down the highway right to where she parked the car.
Added a bunch of trans fluid, watched for leaks and nothing... It hasn't done it since and been fine since. Maybe yours did something similar?
