Another new Guy
Well, I just bumped into the board and thought I would introduce myself and ask a few questions. I just got my hands on my dad's '72 GMC Shortbed and I want to restore it. Probably not a full frame off, but pretty close to it. My dad bought the truck brand new in 72 and was talking about fixing it up himself, but he's not really up to it right now, so I got the truck and am going to do it. It has about 130k miles on it and is pretty much original. The main question I have is on the drivetrain. I'm looking at replacing the engine, getting a newer tranny, and I'm not sure about the gears. Anyone know how to figure out the gearing in the diff, or anyone have any suggestions on suittable setups?
Also, if anyone can tell me the best way to get a picture up here, I'd love to show it off! Thanks guys.... Alan |
