Thanks for the comments and web links. Phat, I had a 3-speed with o/d in the truck when I got it. It made a lot of funny sounds and I didn't want to get into it so went with the Saginaw. I was a free-wheeler too at times. I didn't like that part. I thought something was wrong to make it do that but I guess that's part of the design! Gees!
I don't think I'll go for the Saginaw o/d. Thanks again. I'm going to ask a question about rear gears but I'll start another thread for that. I'll post the question to Inliners too. Thanks Tony.
