There are a few different yrs. represented in this old boy. Any help or guidance is appreciated.
The number 68-7222 is the casting number used on the shifter housing from '36 - '38, not the serial number of the transmission. As someone else already mentioned, the serial number is usually stamped at the top of the trans bell just above the sheet metal inspection plate for the clutch. If the transmission case is original to the truck, that serial number will tell you the year and month that vehicle was manufactured.
one way that we could help you ID things on this truck would be posting pictures of the items/parts in question.
