Here is a little on the transmission that I plan on using. They have been used in Top-Kick and 4500 chevys for some time now. These trucks are basicly the modern version of my 56 6100.

All but AutoShift

Example: FS-5306A
First & Second Digits FS = Fuller Synchronized
Third Digit x 100 = Nominal Torque Capacity
Fourth Digit = Design Level
Fifth & Sixth Digits 06 = Forward Speeds
Sixth Digit A = Ratio Set

Above is a table to identify Fuller transmissions and below is the gear ratios for a Fuller FSO 6406
Gear Ratio
Sixth 0.78
Fifth 1.00
Fourth 1.59
Third 2.52
Second 4.13
First 7.06

So far this is the transmission that I plan on using. I am still looking for information on its weight and length. I do know that it has been used behind big block Chevys though.
