Re: Bell Housing

The going price for a 55/59 cast iron truck bellhousing in this area has been between 50 and 100. Sometimes a little more all depending on who is buying and who is selling.

60/62 Truck bellhousings have the fork on the right hand side and are set up for hydraulic clutch.

63 and later put the clutch fork back on the left hand side. The larger bore for the bearing retainer came on trucks equipped with a SM 465. 48 / mid 60's 3 speed or SM 420 all had the smaller bearing retainer.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
