I never took the time to read it just got pushed when needed.I guess owning it for years it was easier than reading what I could not do.try owning one rather than reading I suppose next you will say I would not be able to put a 58 385 in it WRONG

Yes, a front and rear pump. Was dropped when Controlled Coupling Hydramatic came out in 1956 in Cadillac, Pontiac StarChief and Olds 98. Except that 1956 Pontiac 870 & 860 and Olds 88 used the old Hydro , and in 57 they all switched to the new trans. Also Roto can't be pushed started either. my 57 eldorado with 365 would start with a 30 mph then pusher back off worked many times over the years.

you asked if 55 had the push button on cars no it was keyed.a funny thing in the early (55+) gm s if you just turned the switch off and not lock.someone if they knew it was easy to jump in turn the switch and bye bye car.the keys were another thing there was a limited number cut thus my 54 caddy key would start my brothers 55 chev convertible led to some head scratching when filling up 😀 back then it was easy to park back where it was

on my 54 owned since 76 early years no problem.as time went on and gas went up in price I am sure the pump makers increased the volume it pumped.now when I hear that gurgle I ease up.

never used mmo but the 60s I would use Rislone it came in a yellow quart can.added once a year when changing oil.

I think it is a ground for static on radio.WAG

not that it matters but it was not a 55 as several mentioned.the front cross member was a problem(rust) from 54-56 but there are replacements available.agree on the choice of letting it rust in peace

some had plastic covers where they bolt through floor.some even had a flip up cover built into cover.they can be hard to pull back.the bolt may be a 56 torx.good luck removing the bolts either way as they are tight

you do not need all the outlets? unless you have an electric brake controller for brakes on the trailer.also one is ground one is 12?volt power to trailer for?that leaves left right and taillights.the wiring is based on GM for L R T.you will find the yellow wire goes to the red post and the brown to green post and green to brown post.wired a ton in my time wiring trailers and plugs.this is if you are using a 7 for trailer.there is an easy way if you just want tail and left right.

some measurements may help.wag the base of the windshields 70s GM products. as I said wag without some measurments

when I need to check a speaker I use a small battery (9 volt or less)has worked for me for almost 60 years.just touch the positive post while holding the other wire on the ground. you will hear a crackling sound do not hold on just touch.there are new updated vibrators available.there are radio repair shops that are qualified to repair.

your next problem may be fender clearance when turning.also the tire hitting the frame when turning

it may help if your photos had a tape measure posed with them to give an idea as to size.

You can see in the picture on the door that a chuck a metal was cut out under the vent window. Doesn't have that factory stamped edge.
that is probably from a power window retro fit cut out for gang switch
