I agree, the Clark 280 VO was the optional overdrive back in the day with the .8 overdrive, which IMO, would be perfect. Modern overdrives, like the NV, are more common, but are around .7 overdrive ( larger step down in rpm ). Like ky-donzi mentioned, the 1 ton 3500HD version has the much needed parking brake drum. Make sure the NV4500 is a good unit first, many have noisy bearings that need a professional rebuild.
