55.2-59 60 series to 1/2 ton engine swap

[dtkarst]

We’ve recently acquired a 55 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup, 2nd series that was originally a v8 pickup with a four speed. We were wanting to put a 283 in it from a 1960 grain truck we also have. My question is, will the 283 and 4 speed from the c60 go into the 55 the way it is after taking the hand brake stuff off? Or will I need a v8 bellhousing from a smaller pickup? I’ve got an extra 1960 v8 bellhousing and transmission I can use. Any help is appreciated
