Nice looking truck. Glad to see Tim got it sold. I liked it lowered and lifted. Those wheels have been all across the country and I am glad they finally made it to a truck.

Yeah tim was great to deal with hats of to him.

Yeah I did really like it lower but did not like it riding on the bump stops. I know I could have took them out. But I need this truck to be both a truck and a semi show truck so did 2 inch drop all a round.
Thanks Jay

It's a super cool truck. I thought about it but with no a/c and me being in Texas..... Well you get the idea. I thinka 5 speed trans from a 90's truck would be a perfect addition to that truck.

Yeah 5 speed would be nice but kinda like 3 on the column. And its not going to be driven everyday so for now its fine. You talking about like a 700R4 ?

Since its a manual I was thinking a 5speed manual with the long but comfortable stick shift. That would offer a low first gear and an overdrive. Best of both worlds and a different option than you usually find in our trucks. I am talking about the 5. Speeds found in half tons and not a granny 4 speed style trans.

Ok yeah that would be pretty sweet this is pretty much my 2nd stick shift truck so don't know much about them. How much work would that be to switch it? Sorry I'm a body man/Painter know very little about trans

Agree. My truck has the MY6 manual overdrive, but an extra gear on the low end would be a nice addition.
