If you look at the ratios between a direct and over gear triplex the difference is not insignificant at all. If your truck had rears geared for one, then swapping to the opposite transmission would readily apparent. If he/ they were so concerned the party could have been skipped . might have gotten me at least a hr sleep between jobs, and not as many trips from backhoe controls to jumping on back of the F model to install the transmission.
