72 k10
 72 K10 with a SM465 tranny, and 3.08 diffs. Am going with a LS 5.3 and wondering what my Highway speeds / rpms will be with the SM465 and 3.08 diffs. Any one run this kind of set up in either 2wd or 4x4 mode? was really not wanting to change out steering column and pedals to go with a 4l60 or auto trans unless I really have to.

Re: 72 k10
I can't answer your questions, but is a solid looking truck. I would drive it as is
 Looks like an excellent original truck, anymore pictures? Ray

Re: 72 k10
Some folks have done NV4500 swaps to keep their pedals and get a good highway o/d. I'd restore that pup, NICE truck. What's the condition of the current motor?

Re: 72 k10
Nice truck! Is It just me or is there something up with the wheel base? Looks like the rear wheels sit pretty far forward in the well.

Re: 72 k10
Nice looking ride there
I assume you are aware of the more challenging factor involved with an LSx in a 67-72 4x4? It was my original plan until I found out how much more involved it would be so I'm going FITECH |
