Now I have to waith untill my New rear end is ready...

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

Nice build. I think the 3.73 is a good gear. Maybe even a 3.50 if going to be cruising the highway quite a bit.

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

Thanks ETraugott
I am going for the 3.50
Am planning to drive a lot with the truck on
The highway, so think the 3.50 Will be the best option

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

Enjoy following your build thread. MY brother lives outside of Brussels, I cant pronounce or spell the name of the town.

Scotts is a real nice setup. I visited them back in 2003 to get a quote for fixing my truck up. They have a lot of magazine quality builds going on. Where in CA are you working now?

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

Brussel is not to far away from me, couple of hour

I am working in santa Maria CA now
I like CA. Nice beaches, and Nice places to visit
And a lot of Nice cars and trucks here
