T-85 three speed Q:

Can I add an overdrive to my T-85 (3 speed on the column) 56' or would that mean a complete change to another transmission?

Better to find an OD trans. There are modifications to your trans that would be difficult to do (reverse interlock), and I believe the output shaft is different. Not easy to find a truck OD trans tho.
