Not till I saw this and watched the start again. Did the light weight Galaxies use the R11 overdrive?

I don't think so. Watch how he keeps it in the same gear going slow around some turns and also down all but the fastest straights. I would think if that was third gear it would stall or bog, and a downshift would be in order.

I was thinking how ginchy it would be if, since they were used in trucks, that trans was actually a granny gear 4-speed, a BW or NP box. Shouldn't they be tougher than a Top Loader? Then I imagined the fun of that car with a starting line clutch dump in granny low, and the Galaxie getting black flagged for piling up too many competitors' cars on his hood. Weird. Maybe I should stop smoking that fungus I scraped off the south wall of my property. Maybe.
