It was long ago decided that the 3053 was the only trans that would fit and that the OD kit I made was the only option to get what you want. There was very little interest in my kit even though I gave them away at cost so they are no longer available.
FWIW, I am so happy that Tom made this kit and made me believe that I could actually install it (and I could!). One of the best mods ever for my truck. I put this ahead of power steering and expensive tire upgrades, personally. The quality is outstanding and the driveability is greatly improved.

I agree ! That is why I wished I had not posted about Tom's overdrive kit I bought from him until I could afford to buy another one. After I posted about his kit, they all sold out.

I'm bringing this up to see the current thoughts on going to a Spicer 3053 in my 4x4 M35A3 project for it's high final gear. All 4 brake cylinders are 1 1/2" on the 50/50 system, so brakes are not an issue. 395 GY rated to 65 mph. Anyone have low mile Spicer?

Boneyard has a C6500 with a Cat 3116 and FS 5306A but not FSO 6406a (overdrive) Eaton-Fuller. So I will try to buy the flywheel, clutch, housing and continue search for the FSO (overdrive).

Somebody made the comment on FB that the FS 5306 a could be made overdrive with gear changes. Anyone confirm that ?
