Alright you stovebolt Guru's, is there such a thing as an overdrive tranny that will attach to the torque tube on my 53 1/2 ton? I looked in several truck books and could not find one but perhaps a car of that era could have one that one fit right in?????

If I remember this correctly, Safesix had mounted an OD unit from a 3 speed saginaw onto a 4 speed saginaw, and then hooked that up to a Patrick's saginaw to torque tube conversion kit. Since then he has switched to a T-5 and open rear end.

In Tom Brownell's Restoring Chevrolet Pickups book he shows how someone grafted a GearVendors overdrive on a torque tube--looked like a lot of work but may be worth considering.
