Hello all, I'm new to Big Bolt as I recently purchased a '58 4400 from VEW. I plan on using the truck as is and making some changes as time go on. The first real question is that of gearing, the research that IU have done so far shows the truck has a 6.19 rear end. Would it be better to look for a two speed rear or say an OD trans? I have another truck with a NV4500, that transmission seems like a good choice if I was going that direction.

Any advice will be very welcome. Thanks.
