Whatzit?

[DMackLewis]

I just acquired a sort of FFPW from a mining operation in New Mexico. It's pretty rough. A friend found it, sent a bunch of pictures, the price was right so I bought it, hauled it home (central Texas) and am trying to identify what I have. The data plate decodes to a 1955 C-3-PW. The engine code, though, is T214, which I understand is for a 1942-45 WC 3/4 ton. The electrics have been converted to 12v with a Delco alternator. I haven't identified the coil yet. I know that all the 230's are basically the same and I think I can find the appropriate documentation. My first question is how can I tell if the transmission is original or is from a T214 or are they the same? I'm trying to id everything before I tackle getting it running. I am attaching a couple of shots of the engine.

I'm not sure about the manifolds are orginal to the motor or truck.
But carb looks to be correct for the truck Carter EZT2

Have tried this Trans ID page from Phil's T-137 registry?

Tom, I checked the link to T137 and it looks like, underneath about 1/2" of gunk, I have a transmission that goes with a T137 not a T214. Thanks for the link.
