55-59 chevrolet truck factory assembly manual

pick the tri5 site, its a free download

the trucks came with a V8 that has factory front mounts and a bellhousing with mounts under it.
check this link for a thread on this site that explains it with pics to boot

also consider the driveshaft hook up as a trans with a yoke bolted on will need a two piece driveshaft that has a slip yoke on the rear shaft in order to make allowances for suspension movement.

I’ve got the factory front mounts and such. I’m just needing to know what bellhousing I need to use.
