Automatic bell housing help

I am trying to locate infomation, like casting numbers, service numbers, etc., for FX or MX bell housings that bolt to the 223cid engine. No idea whether trucks ever had that combo or not.

If you have an automatic bell that mates the 223cid to that transmission, my customer may be interested in buying it.

They had the 223 until '64 in cars and trucks. I wonder if an automatic from a car might be an easier find?

It might be, I don't know.

If I had numbers of some sort, I would have an easier time locating something. I might already have a bell, but I have no way of confirming what I have is correct.
