Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Well its done. I'll let you know what I think here shortly but in the meantime it looks so naked without the clutch pedal I'll have to patch in the hole for the shifter but for now I'm going cruising

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Attention... Attention... Shawn will be unavailable for an unspecified time due to a life changing truck transition. This time is a very fragile time that may be spent endlessly cruising at highway speeds or doing smokey burnouts on vacant back roads. He will return when he has adjusted sufficiently... or his gas tank is empty... or his rear tires are without tread. That is all!

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Rear gear is a 3.08 posi and tires are the stock P235/75R15. I think I'm gonna go with a 3.42 rear gear set up if I ever redo the rear end. Want a little more pull when having fun.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Yeah been running those with the 4 speed, could do 60mph and turn 2300rpms. Do 65 and turn about 2600rpms so a huge difference. Never start in 1st unless your pulling stumps out of the ground.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
700r4 is a nice upgrade, did you get a chance to check your mileage compared to the 350 tranny?

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
No I upgraded from a manual granny 4 speed. I haven't had a chance to check the milage yet, haven't driven it far enough. With my old trans I'm guessing the best I ever got was about 15mpg. With this tranny I expect over 20mpg.
