I know the mid 50's trucks with the automatic are rare, a club member here in the Yakima has a 1955 V8 with an automatic.

Back in the 80s my dad had a 61 half ton auto 3.73 gears. There wasn't much on the street that could touch it in the 1/8 mile.

I was lucky enough to find a 63 with 259/auto 3.73 gears in back. With 235 75 15s it's not to bad at 60-65 mph. It's a short bed 1/2 ton non fitting bed I wouldn't want to drive it cross country.

I sold my 60 half ton this past summer that had an automatic. The gentleman I sold it to had a Champ, 62 I think, with an automatic. He said that he had only seen two over the years.
Mine originally had a 4.09 rear gear, but it was changed to 3.31.

There were Standard Ratios based on Engine size, and then special order ratios, with O.D. 4.27 was usually Standard, but 4.09, 4.54, 4.88 would be optional.
I do not believe Higher geared than 3.73 was considered usable with a One to one Ratio Std. or Auto. Tranny and certainly not with O.D. (4.09 Limit) in a possibly Loaded and or Trailering Truck.
Nowadays, for a "Cruiser" Truck we would think differently.
