Dogdays,

Hate to run the post off topic so feel free to pm me or start a new one, but what are you interested in knowing about the 445 tailshaft? I've got a 85 or so one ton crew cab 2 wheel drive with a 445 in it. The truck is a few hours away but I can crawl under there the next time I'm home. Also have a close ratio 435 that was behind a big block in a mid 70's W200. I think the guy I got it from said the motor wasn't original so who knows about the origins of the tranny.
