Re: lets see some 3/4 tons!!
just a 350 with a th350 that my Dad rebuilt years ago for His truck. He can't remember exactly what He did to it, (He is 94 years old) but it runs good, has a slight lope and will knock your head against back of the cab when it grabs 2nd!

Re: lets see some 3/4 tons!!
not a "good" story, but I bought mine off the original owner. Guy bought it and used it as a work truck, then when he didn't want to work anymore, his son drove it as a work truck. I bought it complete with giant bed rack, and damaged floor. I actually bribed them to take it off.
me: "soo...what about the rack?" seller: "Yup, comes with it. I wanted to keep it, but it's a lot of work to take it off, so I figured I'd just give the new buyer a sweet deal and throw in a free rack." me: "Ah...well......If I threw you like $50 extra, would you take it off and keep it?" seller: " uh...sure, I can do that!" True story I'm sure the old man I bought it from would die if he knew I put 22s and air ride on it. I know he'd like the cushy heated leather seats and power windows, but this 80 year old didn't seem like the "dropped and bagged" type. Currently has the 350/350 combo, with the eaton HO52 rear end. I have an LS/4L60e sitting in the garage waiting to be put in. Keeping the eaton, just going to tub it with some 33" tires As it sits, I drive my truck about 3-4 times a week which includes 65+ mile trips to work and back (even drove it today). Hauls the quads/bikes on the weekends, and if I could ever get the space in my garage to pull the engine, it should haul A*S with the LS in it.

That truck is still very original, and has low miles, but they have been some hard miles. Lotsa poorly-maintained Forest Service roads up in the mountains, sometimes in very deep snow. |

Re: lets see some 3/4 tons!!
Sorry about that, 4spd, lil 307 thats been blue printed so i guess you can call it a 350 lol. Dana 44's, 6" suspension lift along with a 3" body lift, running 35" bfg's for now. Looking to go to 36" tires, had 40" hedge hogs and this thing was just too unsafe.
