Bellhousing information needed

[lonejacklarry]

I'm using a '53 bell housing of my '54 C1.  The '54's did not use a side mount style of bell housing and that is what I needed for my application.

 

The question?  Did these bell housings have some sort of cover on the bottom?  There are a bunch of tapped holes on the bottom which makes me believe that something was hung under there.  All my literature is about C1s and does not include <54.  

 

Any help would be appreciated.

They have clutch pans to protect the ring gear.

Thank you.  Would you happen to have a picture or part number for the pan?  

 

I did find a 9-47-20 "flywheel housing pan" in my 1954 parts book.  Now the question is: will this pan fit a 1939 to 1953 bell housing.

My parts book does not show an exploded view of the bell housing on the light trucks, but it appears that the P/N of the lower pan is 1266640

Thank you, Merle.  Can I assume that the page is from a parts manual that is prior to 1954 models?

[Merle Coggins]

Yes, it’s from the B-Series parts book

Great.  Thanks very much.

Well, my regular sources came up dry.  Anyone have part number 1266 640 (clutch housing cover or pan) for sale or have a source to recommend?
