 I HAVE TWO RAMPSIDES ONE WITH A 3 SPEED TRANNY. THE ENGINE ONLY HAD 
 52,000 MILES AND WAS ORIGINAL. NO SMOKE, NOISE RAN LIKE A TOP. THE 
THREE SPEED HAD SUCH A SHORT GAP FROM 1ST TO SECOND IT WAS
 FRUSTRATING. THE GAP FROM SECOND TO THIRD WAS LIKE THE GRAND  CANYON
 ALAS THE ENGINE WENT UP IN FLAMES ONE DAY. THE BODY NEEDED WORK  AND
 SO IT SITS WAITING FOR ME TO GET GOING ON RESTORATION.  I LOVED  MY 
 TRUCK SO MUCH I GOT ANOTHER LAST YEAR.  IT HAS A 140 CAR   ENGINE AND A
 POWERGLIDE.  IT IS SO MUCH NICER FOR ME TO FLIP THAT LEVER ON  THE DASH
 AND GO. THE LARGER ENGINE GIVES ME A PRETTY GOOD RESPONSE.  IN  FACT
 I'D WOULD BE AFRAID TO SEE JUST HOW FAST IT CAN GO.  I DON'T  WANT TO
 BE LIKE A BUG ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE INSIDE.  GOOD LUCK  FINDING
 WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE.  MAYBE OTHERS WITH A STANDARD TRUCK ENGINE  AND
  A POWERGLIDE LIKE THE GREENBRIAR OWNERS CAN GIVE YOU A GOOD  IDEA
 HOW WELL THEIR COMBO'S WORK
