A few people know that I use my '65 442 to pull my 31 foot travel trailer....hence the name Maxx Tugg. I am coming to the end of having the desire to do this.....so....I am thinking of pulling the TH400 and installing an overdrive....with the 3:25:1 gears will I be in the right ratio to utilize an overdrive? What trans does everyone think would be the best....I just want to cruise.

This TH400 has been specially built to pull heavy loads. Has only 6,000 miles on it.

Even the driveshaft works. I think it's the 200R.

And a 350 is shorter and a 400. I guess it depends on your 400s tailhousing, but Id say your new driveshaft will be too short.
