Clarks 3+1 OD Transmission

I have a 'B Code' Manual transmission, better known as a Clarks OD, or a 'Imposter Toploader' I am at the moment taking it out of my project truck. I am wondering if I where I can get parts for it? Uncle says the shift fork is out for 2nd gear cause it will pop out of gear. He said it done it before and the shift fork was bad and I assume its the same.

I don't want opinions on how I should go to a T-18 or something. And no I wont be hauling a load with the truck, its going to be a sport truck. Unlike my uncle who put 5-6 clutches in it cause he pulled a trailer with it and such I am just going to be sportin it around.

Thanks in advance.
JP

This is known more commonly as the SROD (Single Rail OverDrive). If memory serves me right this either has a mostly aluminum or all aluminum case. They put these in early fox body mustangs but were quickly transitioned out in 83 or 84 for the T-5. Hope that this helps.

Sorry to say you way far out there bud. its not a tremec style transmission, This has the external shifter mechanism on the side, mounted on the side of the tail shaft. Its just like a regular top loader, but it was made by clarks, and no its cast iron lol. Okay next!
