The original set up was engineered as a matched set. If you were to keep the original rear and just add the OD transmission you would have the best of both worlds, almost. You could still haul a heavy load up hill in a lower gear and out on the flat put it in OD and get a little more speed. It will be hard to have both power and speed at the same time, the engine will just come up short. Mike B  | | |
