The frame shape left no room for an overdrive trans, so they made a planetary-gear rear end to take the place of the overdrive. For OD ratios in a 3/4 or 1-ton, try to find a Clark 5-speed with OD on 5th gear. Passenger-car transmissions like the T-5 will be too lightweight to handle any truck duties except cruising around with no load in the bed. Jerry
