If you do the overdrive keep in mind how your going to stop the darn thing. That's one I haven't figured out yet so I just drive 45 and keep to back roads.
Yep, that's definitely still on the top of the agenda. After I've gone through all the brakes on this thing, it's not too bad... if you're Paul Bunyan. A power brake conversion is the next thing I'm working on. I'm going to fab up a bracket and mount a 9 inch dual diaphragm booster with a drum/drum 1 1/4" dual master cylinder on the frame rail. If anyone is interested, I can probably dig up the part number for that MC.
