[QUOTE="saltbranch, post: 1129710, member: 13181"] It does take some work building the tranny mounts,Brownie mounts and getting the angles right for the driveshafts to run without vibration. . Building the shifters, shift linkages and making kickdown cables. Not necessarily hard to get the front shaft to the front end and the rear shaft to the rear end though. Most definitely not for your average parts changer/shade tree mechanic. My buddies 68 Dodge with the 3208 cat, the drive shaft was maybe 12" long from the brownie to t-case, shortest drive shaft I have seen in a truck. I dont know what the total reduction was when the brownie and t-case were in low. I do know that truck would flat out run though on the highway and one of the best Crew cab Power wagons I have seen.I built a off road/rock crawler rig back around 2000. In low range I had 6.14:1 reduction, that was wicked. Crank the motor to 8k rpm and you could still count the lugs on the mud grip as it turned. I had the rear spooled and the front with a locker. Miss that truck, I had it standing so straight up that the 5 speed tranny fluid ran out of the shifter boot. I should have kept it for a ranch truck in hindsight. [/QUOTE]
