I have a SR4 (Single rail 4 speed) where 4th is an over drive
that is supposed to work in the early 4 speed case. And all you have
to do is turn the 3/4 shift lever over. Someone on the list had one
installed.
The transmission is out of my Bronco and has new bearings and cluster gear.
I'll take $75.00 plus shipping if you think you can use it.
