Re: 53 GMC longbed project

There are adapters to bolt a V8 pattern trans to the early sixes They aren't inexpensive anymore but they are available https://transmissionadapters.com/pro...e-transmission That is adapter, starter Flexplate and all though. His call on if he wants to spend the coin. A Turbo 350 would be simpler but the 700R2 or a 200R4 would let it have a lower geared rear end for a bit better low speed performance.

My ongoing truck projects:
48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
