Hey Billy, how are you doing ?
Sorry I can't answer your powerglide question, I am a stick shift guy.

Assuming the 18" tail housing came on an iron Glide from the '50's, out of a truck or wagon of some sort.

I'm sure some of these guys will know, for sure.

A guy in this discussion does mention an 18" tail housing, but doesn't mention it being steel or iron.

The aluminum Powerglide was phased in starting in 1962 behind the Chevy 327 engine . So if you have a cast iron tailshaft housing it must be earlier than 1963 .

The issue with Bill's question is that he seems to be describing an aluminum powerglide in ref to a 1.76 gear and fine spline.

Yet, he is talking about a "steel" rear housing.

The question does not compute.

Is it possible he has a very rare Steeluminum hybrid?

Someone was breaking rear mounts or tail housings and found a cast one... to help stop it and Bill ended up with it.
