Truck in question is a 66 Camper Special with the "close ratio" NP 435. Thinking about swapping it out with another that has the super low first gear. I know if I go this route and find one newer than 1967 it will have the 23 spline input shaft and will necessitate a new clutch disc. But

This is part of the reason I asked how many teeth were on the wide ratio gear end of the input shaft. I wanted to make sure I was getting a short shaft with the correct 1st gear teeth. I can buy either the 10 or the 23 spline (i.e. long and short) input shafts but only for the granny first gear setup: common P/N WT291-16R and WT291-16Q, respectively.
In terms of finding input shafts and the first gear, the close ratio 435 seems to be a difficult animal to satisfy.
