They are hard to find. You have to start trying truck drivetrain distributors. Some are on the Internet, but not all. Some have access to country wide databases. A "like new" rebuilt one can run up to $1800. Overdrive tooth count new input shafts are very hard to find. There are many bolt patterns but if you find one you can modify your bellhousing. An alternative is the 2" longer Clark 280VO. Also the Spicer 3053A which is another 1.5" but very cheap. they came on the M35A1 and A2 2.5 ton trucks and can be gotten for as little as $4-500. Another alternative is squeezing a Ranger II overdrive between the bellhousing and NP420 (7"). You're going to need the services of a specialty driveshaft place with that, also with the 3053A.
