Re: Rare 55
those old timers probably hated to work on heavy awkward stuff. That is a 400+ pound transmission! Variants were in production for probably 30 years so they had some success until better stuff came along
Can't say how rare it is in a '58 pickup. At least uncommon is my guess. But not so rare as to make that rusty basket case any more appealing as a restoration project. Probably the main thing of value from the hydramatic POV is the column/shifter.
Truck maybe not a horrible deal. The title along with some chunk of the original truck is probably worth close to a third of the asking price in BC, the rest has some value as parts. And the owner is open to offers
