With a broadcast date of April 25 on the broadcast sheet, a Muncie would be correct. They started producing Muncie's in February of 1963. My 63 SS has its original Muncie (with VIN stamp) dated the very first day of Muncie production.

Funny story - when I took the car apart to start restoring it many years ago, I didn't know the above info so I assumed the Muncie was not original. So I found and bought a 63 T10 with all the linkage, shifter, belhhousing, etc. etc. Then a guy needed a 4-spd so I told him I had a Muncie to sell. He came over and we drug it out to look at it. I wiped the grease off for the first time and saw a VIN stamp. I thought, man that number sounds familiar. Went and looked at the VIN tag and voila, it matched! So the other guy went home with a T10!
