Bell housing for a 3 speed HD synchro transfer 1952

I recently acquired a 3 speed synchro trans from a 48 parcel delivery truck and I am having a tough time finding a bell housing for this. I also would like to change out the ratchet for a floor shift. From what I have found the parcel delivery transmissions are rare and I don't need the existing ratchet. I'd the bell housing for this custom and does anyone know where I could find one?
I added some photos of the transmission for reference.
Thank you

This is a 1953 and later transmission, and won't work in anything earlier.

Thank you Chuck, that would explain my trouble finding a bell housing. Well I have no use for that transmission so it's for sale if anyone is interested.
Thanks again

From the shifter arms, I'd say that is a HD 3-sp from a conventional cab pickup, not a parcel delivery. The HD 3-sp's are highly sought after, although most (like you) want the floor shift.
