It looks like a '59 Ford trans, Ford started using a fine spline input shaft like that around 1959. Its the light duty trans.

 

It is a 3 speed non-OD trans. Can't tell you much more........

 

I agree it is a Ford unit. I fact I started to post first, but hesitated because of the fine spline input shaft. Didn't know how that fit into the equation, so waited to see what someone more knowledgeable had to say.

Voila'......Mark T to the rescue!

It definitely has the '49 to '64 Ford bolt pattern where it bolts to the bellhousing and the cast in numbers are Ford engineering numbers.

Period correct light duty Ford gearbox. The heavy duty three speed was a Borg Warner T-85, with a curved bottom 9 bolt side cover like the cover used on the T-10 4 speeds.

 

OK Folks thanks for the info.

 

Yep. And it looks like it was used with a column shifter. Most folks that converted from automatic used a floor shift conversion because it was cheaper and easier.

 

48 Chubby - It actually had a Hurst Mystery floor shifter on it.
