And they are much more common(ZF's), can be found in medium and heavy duty versions, all with overdrive, and they are a modern trans: they are lighter and have parts available.


I researched those clarks some years ago.....wow, they are the opposite of ZF's: They weight ~250lbs(!!!), the overdrive versions are almost impossible to find, parts are hard to find and expensive, I needed a T98 bellhousing to hook a clark 280VO to my 223(yes, I know, waaaaay overkill),


...just a huge PITA.

You can get the e-brake kit if you can't find a tranny with one New Ford F250 F350 ZF Emergency Parking Brake Assembly Round u-Join | eBay

I'm going the disc brake mounted on the yoke route. I need to machine a hub to move the disc rearward to clear the tranny mount. Tradeoff is time vs $$ as always.

well after a bit of investigating on install and price of the different options i have decided to just put in a dana 70 rear axle with a 354 gear in it ,i have got one out of a dodge motorhome that has the 5 on 8 wheel bolt pattern this seems to be the easier way to go appreciate all the input from this group thanks

That should give you 56+ m/h. Should be fine since there isn't an awful lot of frontal area resistance (only about 64 sq. ft.) and you won't be carrying heavy loads.
The devil's advocate says: Gradeability will be reduced, and you will find yourself grabbing gears in the hills. You lose the luxury of a two-speed axle. Just sayin'.
