This was a 1958 Bus gearbox of mine
From your new added pictures, your axles/reduction boxes are non-Barndoor

Thank you! |
From the pics i can tell it’s a tunnel case tranny.
I don’t see the boxes
The tranny may or may not have the original gears inside. It may have been rebuildt with differnt gears.
