The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks od unit

Does anyone have a source or know where i could get an overdrive unit for a 64 1/2 ton l/b with 230 , 3 on the tree trans ? How much could i expect to pay for it ?? thanks

mikeg103,

Searching the web (Craigslist, FB Marketplace, eBay, etc) is probably your first go-to to see if you can locate one.

You can always post an ad right here on the Bolt Truck Parts Wanted.

No idea what you may need or want to pay. Over that past couple of years I have seen 3 speed OD transmissions for '60's trucks go anywhere from $250-$700 depending on condition and completeness (having all the solenoids, controls, wiring etc.).

I will keep an eye out on my various web roaming sessions and let you know if I spot anything that may fill the bill.

Keep an eye out for rfs56trk here on SB. He is very quick with transmission related knowledge. I suspect he can answer without trouble.
Also, there is a transmission restorer in eastern VT (i recall) who sometimes posts on CL. I reached out to him at one point and he is a good resource. We just need to catch a new posting since I canned the POC info. I will dig through CL and my old emails. ((EDIT: try 603 440 9035. Currently posting one of his transmissions in Springfield VT))

I recently swapped to the SM319 (OD module on the SM318) on my 62 sub (235) and it is worth the time and effort. Some of the bits and pieces to restore/repair are hard to come by which will drive your price. Pay the price and you will be happy.

There is an good chance that 62 sub will be at SB gathering 29 Apr in Belmont NH. You get yourself there and I am happy for you to drive the SM319.

thank you dan i appreciate it !
