Your call. The four speed is a nice transmission with better ratios and a synchronized first gear. You have to come to a complete stop to shift into first with the three speed. Otherwise, it's a fine transmission.
If you have it apart, ditch the 3 speed. The 4 speed drives much better to me.
THE GODS HAVE SPOKEN.

But will the 4 speed bolt up to my transfer case? I already have a 4 speed bell housing
Do the 4 speed if you have access to one. Just didn't want you to think you were going to get more highway speed out of that mod.

So I have laid down the grille, gotten the fan, fan shroud, radiator, radiator shroud, and intake/exhaust manifolds off. Ready to pull the motor.

Well I have a 1978 2F on an engine stand that I'm cleaning up to repaint. I'm having the head ported and polished and a Holley Truck Avenger 600cfm or 470 cfm carb will be on it. As with anything major besides sanding and priming the body and getting a few rust spots welded up... I work on a drilling rig in the gulf of Mexico and our company is doing a lot of laying off so the project will be on hold until I find a better job.
Dang. Hate to hear about the job. Good thing to work on if you have downtime.

Yeah it'll be fine. There is plenty I can do without spending much money or any at all. I need a lot of sand paper and cutting wheels
