Harry, I take it by your question that you are looking for a little more speed and/or lower engine rpm? Possibly for the runs to and from Kelowna? Rather than spend a lot of time and money altering your CMP by retro-fitting a CCKW or any other transmission for that matter have you considered any of the many available bolt-on electrically operated overdrives? I seem to remember back in high school my friend's Humber had such an overdive...a Laycock de Normanville unit if memory serves me correctly. In the modern era, there are many heavier duty after market overdives available for RV's which became popular when fuel prices began to rise. Although it would require shortening of the drive shaft, it would leave your truck original and cost less than a tranny swap. Something to consider. Derek.
