First just for starters, I bought this truck from my friend for REAL CHEAP.

It used to be an Air Force Recruiter truck and it origianlly had a 250 six(4.1 liter) with the sm465. The axles are 3:73s and I was wondering if this a normal axle ratio because it says G-84 High Altitude on the side rear of this truck. It has no A/C and is really just a plain jane except for the nice axle ratios.
The first 5 digits of the VIN are 1G8EK. I can't find ant reference to the 8 on the code, any ideas??

I will be putting one of my 350s in it because the 6 cyl. is long gone.

I think this wil be a fun project.
