ya trucks and vans are your best bet. Look for a service van, those often had higher gears since they were designed mostly for in town driving.

if you can find ex-government or military fleet trucks from the mid 60's most of them got sure grips...thats where i got my 3.91 sure grip...ex "department of agriculture" truck that i picked up for 100 bucks and some spare parts i had laying around...
Daddy ran whiskey in a big black dodge
bought it at an auction at the masons lodge,
Johnson County Sherriff painted on the side,
just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside,
well him and my uncle tore that engine down,
I still remember that rumblin' sound.....
