Found on rc4wd a bullet 3 speed trans that listed the gearing ratios. 1 and 2 gear 4wd or 6wd drive for semi. 3rd gear was only rear drives. I think it was about $100. Sorry couldn't post the link on my phone. Hope this helps

You can modify the gearbox to connect a front axle by enlarging the gear box shaft.

You only have to move the gearbox a bit back to have enough space for the drive shaft.
