Chopt, Glad to help. I spent most of today working on and cleaning a T86 OD that will be in my '26 roadster. When I got most of the grease and dirt off it still has most of the Studebaker green on it. I'm putting a top shifter from a Jeep T90 on it so I'll have a 3 speed floor shift OD. I have a few Dana 44 gear sets to choose from. My first choice is a 4,27 set that came in my son's '54 Stude Conestoga since the roadster will have a 4 cylinder they may be a good choice. The OD will still get it down the road at about 75mph.
