Eric:  You are correct.  Tunnel case small nut can be replaced without 
modification to anything with a later tunnel case big nut.  Simple bolt in.  
Have not done one personally and the only complexity I can think of would be 
mating the earlier type of e-brake cables to the later backing plates and 
hardware.

Wait.
Isn't the small nut (non-split case) transaxle interchangeable with the big nut?
Pretty sure it's a straight swap, unless it's a '58 and under small nut.
Right?

Weird.

Still trying to figure out what year is this single cab.
The plate in the cab behind the passenger seat area reads:
 
18  04  1
362
UL 261RED 764784
 
The transaxle serial number is: H8702730
 
no fuel guage, has the cable for the reserve fuel lever, has a ball joint front 
suspension. small round tail lights, bullet front turn signals. Square 
headlight buckets.
 
I'm reading the m-code as a 61, but it has a big nut transaxle which everyone 
is saying is 64 and I don't see any type of adaptor plate on the nose cone.
 
Someone welded over the serial number in the engine compartment that is stamped 
into the body.
