Clark 5 Speed OD?

Got a few questions about my 1973 C-600. It’s equipped with the Clark 5 speed and I think it’s a 285V54 model. I have read that Clark also made an OD unit as well for these truck. Are any of these available anywhere? Also, would the 5 speed that’s in my C-600 fit in my 79 F-600 dump truck? It has a 4 speed and would like to upgrade it to a 5 speed. The only thing that looks different is the remote shifter mechanism that’s on my C-600. Can that be converted to the regular shifter? Any input (No pun intended) on this from anyone on this transmission? Thanks to my Brothers in Blue. GFT.

TRANS code stamped on the 2nd line of the Warranty Plate, riveted to the left door face below the latch. Post what it is.

If it was TRANS code 4 = Clark model 280VO 5 Speed Overdrive
