Mike:

I have a 3 speed overdrive in my 58 Suburban and love it. I really wanted to keep the three speed column shift. I'm kind of nostalgic. Now I get the best of both worlds. I keep the column shif and get some highway driveability. The swap was pretty easy. Finding a good unit with all the parts is the hard part. If you get one with a working governor and solenoid you are 90% of the way there. The other stuff is easily fabbed or replaced.

I have a long thread PM that I exchanged with another bolter on the subject. I'll dig it out and PM you when I get home. Too hard to do on the phone.

Larry

Thanks

Larry
