Three-on-the-Tree with 273 4/bbl?

Wow, double win!

@toolmanmike with the confirmation I was looking for. It made sense to me that Mopar being Mopar the basic config was there but rarely left in standard form.

And @Oldmanmopar the PTO cable solution is far more elegant then the floorpan lever, I'll use that idea for sure.

Thanks everybody for a quick turnaround response beyond expectation! I've been plotting "my ultimate Valiant" for many years and will be proud to show it to the few folks I expect will understand and appreciate where it's coming from.

As a reference origin, Mopar Action's debut "Restoration" column in the early 90's featured my junkyard find 1966 V100 2dr post that was factory: 273 Commando, 4spd, Rally suspension, manual disk brake, 16/1 fast ratio manual, 3.55 Sure-Grip, radio delete, bench seat, beige in and out. I've never gotten over that thing and in honor of it intend to go fantasy above and beyond while still looking right.
