list,
i may soon be getting a 1955 two ton flat bed with a 235, 4 speed (syncro or 
not, im not sure yet) and a 2 speed rear end. what i want to know, is what 
kind of speeds and RPMS am i looking at with that combo? and what about this 
brownin box, could i get one of these to get higher freeway speeds at lower 
RPMS? if so, where does one mount this thing, how to i control it? how 
difficult would it be to put one in, and what kinds of costs am i looking 
at?
i dont know a lot about the big trucks, 3200s i know, but this is a 3800, 
and im not sure about it, all i know is that its all original except the bed 
has been shortend to 10 feet, and its been raised slightly (done really well 
i might add, nice welds) to clear modern big rig tires on stock 20" rims.
thanks for your help
