Re: 85 K10 305 to 350
Goals are to dd comfortably and have decent gas mileage but keep the 33x12.5 tire or I may step up to a 35x12.5. I will do a little bit of off roading like on the beach and trails but nothing extreme like rock crawls or deep mud runs.
Buying another truck is out of the question but budget wise I believe I could afford a used trans and a set of new gears.
I do have a th350 and an np208 tc. Gears I'm not sure about. I couldn't see a tag anywhere so I tried the lift and rotate trick. 3 1/2 turns of the driveshaft turns the tire once so I'm assuming 3.42. I don't have a tach at the moment so I don't know what the rpm range is at cruise.
I live 30 minutes from work and it's 55 mph majority of the way there. No other roads around are faster than that and I don't plan on going faster than 55. I do plan on traveling with the truck but that's not for another 1.5 years.
