My buddy is installing a set right now on his '66. So far, the quality looks good. Hoping to have it finished up by the weekend, but will be a while before any miles get put on them. They're definately better than the factory gear and they will definately improve the driving characteristics.

I would contact Nate Porter at Porterbulit Fabrication.
He's a great guy and can answer all your questions.
He has also supported this board since 2003.

I consider him the suspension guru for 60-87 C10 trucks, burbs, and blazers.
