I picked up a '62 T-10 recently and trying to figure out the original application. It has an aluminum case and tail. Case is T10-1C, 3782212 stamped WG1922. Tail is T10-7D, 3813490, dated 6-21-62. Side cover is dated 6-14-62. Came with a cool 2-piece Ansen blowproof bellhousing.
Anyone know what this would have originally come in?
It has 10 spline input and 16 spline output. Input has one ring. Looks like it's a wide ratio, either '61-'62 (2.54, 1.92, 1.51, 1.00) or '62-'65 (2.54, 1.89, 1.51, 1.00).
WG1922 is the date code, so it was assembled on July 19, 1962, second shift.
Without a VIN stamped on the case, it is not possible to know what car it was originally installed.
In 1962, across all GM divisions, the T10 was the 4sp that was used.
In the Chevrolet division, the only body styles to have a 4sp were the full size models (Bel Air, Biscayne, Impala, etc) and the Corvette.

With a June casting date and a July assembly date, it's also possible it came from a 63 Chevrolet or Corvette, instead of a 62.
I agree. I think it's more likely for a late 1962, but I don't know how much lead time there typically was between transmission assembly dates and car build dates.

Yes, but other than the Covair what else did they make other than trucks in 1962 model year? What did the Corvair use for a 4 speed?

The Corvair had a transaxle type rear and transmission which I'm not familiar enough with to elaborate on.
The crankshaft was attached to a flywheel/clutch (or Powerglide) that was connected to a shaft in the differential---------------------NOT THE TRANNY----------------a shaft went straight through the rearend. Then the transmission was bolted to the back side of the rearend/differential. The tranny input shaft went into the transmission ----------------------through a hollow shaft-------------------- then came back out the front of the tranny case and splined into the pinion of the differential. Yes, BOTH the tranny input shaft and output shaft (hollow tube) were on the same side of the tranny case (NO tail housing on the tranny).
Thus, the differential was BETWEEN the rear (or actually the front) of the engine and the transmission. The differential case had an axle yoke on each side.
I guess it worked OK until Ralph Nader killed it (as well as other products).
Never had one apart, never worked on one, never want to work on one!!!!
