Vic,

You're going to love the Columbia 2-speed. We have one installed in our '39 coupe, with 78's on the rear, and just effortly cruise down the highway with no strain at all. In fact, I like to run in high range all the time (except start-ups on steep hills); does especially good in 2nd gear. (Sorry, I don't know what I've got in the rear but I believe it to be a standard banjo.)
