Dave,
I have the 58 shop manual and the 55-59 assembly manual and, while I just
skimmed through them, neither of them appear to mention the OD unit at all.
Maybe one of the 55, 56, or 57 manuals/supplements?

<< That is very good info. I use it and will be using it for the hookup

more to doing a complete overhaul than described. I am in the middle of a
complete overhaul now. To break it down completely, replace all three
bearings, the seals, bushings, etc. requires more than all the info I have
seen so far. I am expecting too much maybe, but still hold hope the newer
trucks shop manual will shed some light. I also have to wonder if there are
new gears available. Anyone know? Particularly for the 3 speed front end
where the gears appear to be worn. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
