Chris (and everyone else)
Note that the tranny in this Travelall is the overdrive 5 speed, probably
the rarest of the 5 speeds, since most larger trucks like school buses
have the ones that are direct in 5th.  Shipping would be a problem 
though, tranny and bellhousing (unique for the 5 speed) weigh about 
250lb.  I don't remember where you live Chris, but you don't have
to be here long and parts you want start coming out of the woodwork.

Also note that the 5 speed is nearly the same length as the 727 auto,
in fact I think there was less than 1 inch difference.  I am using the
same driveline to connect to my transfer case.  I think it is longer
than the three and four speeds though.
