[Tigers] Toploader overdrive

[fsimer at gac.edu]

I have a SROD with shifter in Minneapolis if anyone wants it - $100
FOB my shop Minneapolis 55405  (I have never run it so no idea of its
overall condition) I went with a mini GN QC rear instead of
transmission changes

> During the mid-70's Ford made an aluminum-case version of the toploader
