I currently have an M22 Rock crusher in my '56 Chevy pickup, and have another M22 that was rebuilt about 6 years ago by my father but never used. I also have what I believe is an M21, but I'm not certain. The M22's are both close ratio and the M21 is a wide ratio...again from what I was told years ago.

Looks like you have a second design-feb. 28th, 1968, M20 or M21. Definitely not a rock crusher(no straight cut gears).

Muncie also had a second close-ratio transmission coded M22 and known as the "rock crusher," which was used behind performance big-block engines and in some Corvettes.

The M22 'Rock Crusher' featured a one-inch countershaft pin bore and shot-peened gears with aggressive helix angles that reduced heat and stress but also increased noise, leading to the nickname as the transmissions rattled their way down the road.
