For comparison, these are the Ratios used in the 'Cedes 170D (1949-1955) which also used this engine:

I. 4.025:1
II. 2.280:1
III. 1.420:1
IV. 1.000:1
Rear axle ratio - 4.125:1 (spiral gears)
And 5.50x16 tires.

It weighed in at ~2800#, and had a top speed of 62 MPH, which was achievable in 59 seconds.

I've been going with 170D specs, which may not be correct at all, since the engine is from a Thermo-King reefer unit... I have yet to be able to get anyone from Thermo-King who was willing to look up the details for me, or even email them to me, so this is all I have.
