No, this is incorrect. An OD transmission with have a different tailshaft extension housing, with an electric solenoid actuator, a governor, a cable operated override actuator, and the actual planetary gears.

The 55-57 passenger car 3-speed OD can be adapted to our trucks pretty easily. My brother-in-law has done it on his 65 C10.
