John, you will like the HD 3 speed however they are heavy and shipping would eat you alive I suspect.They weigh almost as muck as the 4 speed.Good luck with your search.

Have you thought of using a modern tranny with O/D? I haven't done it but it's probably a little more work and you get O/D for better gas mileage and the newer transmissions have better highway gearing.

48steel, needhelp49 and lectrician89 - put your location in your personal profile. (Go to User CP, the Edit Profile: The field for that is way down towards the end). Your location will show up in your posts. Knowing what part of the country you live in will help a lot with ideas about shipping, etc.
