Columbia's are getting hard to find and expensive. D Mack Lewis '46 1/2 ton ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 04 Jun 2000 12:47:27 -0400 From: Gary Vandergrift Subject: Re: Overdrive I talked to Gear Vendors about an overdrive for the original flatty through torque tube. They have a setup that fits inside the torque tube, a hydraulic overdrive, that costs $2900. You have to cut the drive shaft (of course). If you want to stay looking real original this could be a way to go. But for that kind of money, one could add a modern 4 speed and 3:1 rear rend. If I change any of the hubs on my '37 it is hard to keep it looking stock because of the wide bolt pattern. I wonder if the gearing out of a car would be higher? Read Tom Teixeira's pages on how he gets highway speeds. http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://world.std.com/~tjt/35Pickup.html.
