The missus was talking about driving the '53 until she looked down and saw three pedals (!). While the five-speed is still in the works, I started thinking about the Langdon TH350 adapter as a remote option. Question is, how is that transmission behind the 235? With enough gear, does it move the truck adequately? Also, how do you address the "lack" of bellhousing side mounts? If it ends up being a relatively easy conversion that works decent, I might be afraid to tell her!
