Just looking at the Milk delivery car brochure on the online archive and interesting to see that it quotes the ratio as 5.6, is this the large banjo Ulster type axle, that'd probably make it quite drivable.
Regarding gearbox ratios I only rang Andrew Bird the other week and to say the least he was very helpful and informative, after my call I think I'll get him to do the gearbox for me rather than try it myself. Problem is there really doesn't appear to be a one size fits all solution. The engine, weight and terrain planned to be tackled are unlikley to be the same in two cars. I know my old 31 saloon was hard work with the original gearbox and axle combination.
