My dad's 56 Bel Air non tilt auto looks just like the first one also. I've never looked at a truck auto to tell. They look the same though!

Tripmiester,
question for you. Have you had trouble with you column in the truck not wanting to come out of park? My dad has been complaining about the 56 not wanting to come out of park and feels like it's going to break something. The only thing I can figure to do is bend those tabs back a little to make it easier to get out of Park. I've greased the tits up and that helped a little but man that thing is hard.
