Thanks guys, 53 4 me, thanks for the contact, I shall give him a call.

J.H.Proffit , to answer your questions,
Do you want to go to an open driveline?

I would prefer to stay with the torque tube, but my goal is to re-gear so I can run at highway speeds comfortably. I would like to stay original as possible, but open driveline would be acceptable if i get the desired results.

Do you have a 'compound low 1st and a reverse lockout leaver on the trans?

I will be honest, your second question confuses me??? I think the answer is no to each part, but I'm guessing these are available on heavier trucks??? mine is a 1/2 ton with simple 3 speed transmission.

If you go to an open drive line, are there any modifications required to the end of the trans? seals? etc?

thanks again guys!
