Re: 3 speed overdrive!!, now about getting it in.......
Great score. I put one in my 56 BelAir and I had to swap the transmission levers and modify(cut/reweld for new angle) the front lever to get the right angle to my floor pan on the 56. I used my original (56) shift linkage but my car also used a bell crank linkage for the 2nd/3rd lever. You might get by using the original linkage and not modify your levers too. Just bolt it right back into the truck where your 3 speed came out and start checking the linkages and clearances. I had my 1st/rev linkage off at least a dozen times bending it in the vise. I think it works great now. You might have to work on your speedometer gear if your rear end is not a 4:10. I had to use a AC reduction box on the transmission to get my speedo to read near right.
