While I'm still waiting on pictures of the tires and engine I've been looking up transmissions.

I found these two that are the only 2 OD options 5 speed transmissions from the era the Spicer 3153 5-Speed and a Clark 264VO 5-Speed both geared very similar. Both are basically .80:1 final drive. Any thoughts on how hard these are to find or to swap? I'm worried that 55 mph with the 4 speed I would get ran over. Highway speeds where I live and travel is 70-75 mph.
