O/D hard parts, i haven't a clue. I ran these trans in a couple of trucks about 30+ years ago. it would have to be cheap for me to buy. a 5 speed would be much better.
Thanks 61K10. I agree that a 5 speed would be a no brainer; however, right now I would like to retain the 3 speed on the column for originality's sake and to keep from having to cut up my floor as much as possible. Maybe one day though...
