No, the three-vent frame appears to be very original.

It sounds like your current windshield frame was from a later Patrol. Two vents and standard visors started in '68. Before that I think the only option was aftermarket or ordering some when they became available and using sheet metal screws. I have a '66 that has some but think the original owner a...

When did they start adding sun visors to Patrol windshield frames? My '65 has a newer, two-vent frame with visor mounts. I just picked up a three-vent frame for a hardtop that doesn't have sun visor mounts. Seems crazy to me sun visors weren't an option at some point.

This style overdrive is essentially a two-speed gearbox added to the back of the transfer case. When engaged, power travels through the middle of the overdrive to the planetary, then to the outer gear back through the transfer case gears. http://hermtheoverdriveguy.com/overdrive-barrel-gear This is ...

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I find the idea of a bolt-on overdrive fascinating! Anyone get any further on this issue?

NAPA had one. Made in Japan.

I've been researching the subject for a while now, convinced that the Patrol carrier HAD to be modeled after or was similar to some...

Hi guys!, I'm in the middle of rebuilding my transmission and I have a problem. At some point in its life, my trans gears were marinating in water and have become pretty pitted. Does anyone have a trans with good internals that they would be willing to sell? Mine is completely torn down and now's th...
