Darrel,  I do not think it's a truck bell,  the side arms are not mounts, they are air discharges from an Air Cooled Ford O Matic convertor.  Air cooled was used prior to mid year 56 in cars.  Not sure without seeing the engine side but it looks Y-Block.    It has some part numbers on it, if the OP could post them I am sure we could get an answer.

Edit
On a second look the bottom "Ears" do look like mounts, post the casting numbers if you can
