Other wise I will have to shorten the drive shaft to use it. Any recommendations on finding a drive shaft that will work or getting mine shortened?

To the best of my knowledge ...
The T85 was used in 1955 production in HP applications along with the T86 in lower HP applications.
It is a fuzzy subject as you get all kinds of descriptions, IIRC and/or hearsay. The 49/59 MPC does not give (or I have found) an exact application chart, as found in the 60/64 MPC. If you GOOGLE for information it usually winds up with JEEP. My guess is original BW parts books and you would have to draw FOMOCO info out.
That being said, can you post any CASTING ID Nos off the main case, OD unit and tail housing?
Also, there is a 6V and 12V solenoid.
