Re: 1966 C10 Project Truck

Picked up a new axle for it today, it's an 8.8 out of a 99 Mustang GT with a limited slip, disc brakes and a 3.30ish gear ratio. Should compliment the motor quite well!

62.5 wheel mount to wheel mount. Can't get a whole lot closer to what our 12 bolts are

Got it on the dyno yesterday at a local Subaru shop open house and dyno day. Didn't throw down the numbers I was thinking it would but their dyno is very stingy on the power numbers. It put down 234/261 which is not horrible, I just loved seeing it on the dyno!

4th gear pull, took a little long to get going

3rd gear pull, he stabbed it a little hard and spun

3rd gear pull, tighter straps and ballast
