I know most of the farm trucks I've seen are 4 speed trucks.Also it seems most of the fleet trucks (company,utility,and civil service) seem to be 3 on the tree.Also I don't remember ever seeing a 3/4 with a 3 on the tree,and only a few auto's.All of the 6 cyl trucks I've seen were standard shift.All of the c-30's were standard shift 4 speed.
Some of this may be due to the fact that the standard can be more easily serviced by the average farm mechanic of the era.
