Re: automatic in a 58 apache
There should be room for any GM trans that will bolt to the engine.
If you don't have side engine mounts on the engine in the truck now it would be extremely wise to install side mounts provided the engine has the pads for them. Reason being, that if you run stock front TF motor mounts at the front of the engine and a rear mount on the transmission you stand a good chance of either breaking the bellhousing or having the front seal in the trans leak due to the tendency for the whole assembly wanting to flex when it is supported that way.
