I'm interested in an overdrive for my 1957 C600 COE 272. It has the 2 speed rear axle.
One thought I randomly had reading this thread... yes, you could make the high gear taller in the axle (losing hauling capacity), but is a 3 speed rear axle a thing? Seems like that would be ideal if so?
Assuming not, then I'd have to go for a more add-on kind of overdrive. Does anyone have any experience doing this? What units work well for this?
Thanks,
Tim

There was a heavy duty tandem 3 speed back in the day, but would not be compatible with a lighter duty juice brake single axle truck.
