Thanks,Ed! I'm in Iowa,and we have plenty of hills in this State,especially along our many river valleys. Where I plan on driving my truck,(when brakes are up for the task),there are plenty of 5-6% grades,but many miles of flat to rolling hills until I get to that area.Plan on making the trip with a minimal amount of weight,just my camping gear,and guitar.Are you suggesting swapping the SM420 for a Brownie 5-speed/O.D. unit,or installing a 3-4-Speed Auxiliary unit? If you're suggesting a B.L. Aux,where would you find the linkage,if purchased from a truck with a different wheel-base?
