Will do. Thanks!

Thanks, I'll keep them in mind-hoping for someone closer.

I can not find anyone to re-build a 1955 cast iron power glide. If anybody knows someone, please let me know. This Chevrolet 210 belongs to a good friend and was bought new by his grandfather. I took it apart a put it back together. We had the engine and TRANSMISSION rebuilt and the paint done by pros. The trans. re-builder has since retired. Turns out the trans re-build was botched and didn't come to my attention right away as several months went by before the car was ready for the road. I've gotten a lot of "Check with ol' so and so, he used to work on those" I've checked with 4 or 5 old so and so's and the best I can get is : I'll do it. Let me get whatever, blah blah blah out of the way and I'll call- months ago. Most of the old masters are retired or gone, I'm afraid. I've learned that cast iron power glides weigh 250 lbs., They are not the same as aluminum power glides, just because someone has built 100 drag racing power glides doesn't mean they know anything about the old ones. And, apparently, the bell housing is different, so I can't order one from Summit. The car is in Oxford, Mississippi. Please help.
