yeah Ron, I had a 3spd in my 57 panel that ya hadta keep some weight on at steady highway speeds - sometimes you could go for many miles w/o it wanting to slide out, than it'd do it 2 or 3 times in a few miles - worked fine otherwise for the 13 years or so I used the truck - just passed that trans on to olblu49 today!
the car trans is pretty much the same as the truck, and the orange color is just someone's idea of 'restoration' - no trans is ever painted
