Re: swapping in a saginaw 3spd OD..need info

I put one in my truck. No cross member and you will have to measure and get your drive shaft shortened at a driveline shop. I wired up my solenoid with a switch so I turn it on and off when I want. I believe I had to shorten my drive shaft about 6". Short box should not have a center bearing.
On another note. I love the truck on the freeway now. Will cruise at 70 75 MPH. I have 3.73 with 235/75/15 tires also.
