I have found that if you have brakes and the motor isnt reving 4000 at 60 it can be fairly comfortable. Your looking at about $600 to have a 3.08/1 installed in the differential and probably $250 to $500 to do a junkyard swap for disc brakes in the front. Does your truck have an electronic ignition? Does your truck have a internal regulator alternator? How is the wiring? Is there much slop in the steering? Your going to find that budget and these old truck exspecially if your going to drive it long distance isnt going to work. For around town get from point a to point b they are great and look even better. Just dont get out in the middle of montana and break down. Good luck with your project.
