Shoot! Any fuel saved with the OD would be consumed in hauling those heavy things around. 500 ~ 800lbs! WOW!

I think a body lift will be needed to clear the bellhousing that would be required and I'm not sure the frame is wide enough for some of those transmissions.

That 6 speed looks like a twin counter shaft trans. We have a 7 speed twin counter shaft in an International and it fills the inside of the frame rails pretty well.

With a 80k GCVW/1400 ft/lb rating it would have to be.
