NorthernGMC; Yes I still have the 3 speed + overdrive but I'm hanging on to it in case I want to use it in another future truck project. They aren't getting any easier to find.
The 3.38 gears pull off the line just fine. Even with tall tires and pulling a trailer. Low end torque is what these stovebolts are all about. You're not going to smoke the tires but if you want to drag race you don't want a 235 anyway.
