A lot of cars/trucks today have a "standard" transmission that is automatic.

From what I've gathered on here, the standard transmission was the 3-on-the-tree, with everything else (od, 4 speed, auto) being optional.

i'd still like to see an original BB/3-on-the-tree truck.

the 427 v8 on that medium duty's spid is the tall deck gasoline V8. I'm fairly sure there is no such thing as a 427 diesel, or at least it wasn't referred to as such.
