Cut 2 coils in the front, and removed the overload plus a spring in the rear. Also,
drop hangers for the leafs.

It handles the tranny just fine even with the 250. Yes granny. Check the ratios of this tranny online. Muncie sm465.
Planning something sinister though. Big block 454

Re: 1980 C-10 Low buck build.
Never have driven one no. But I've had 273 gears before. Lol it was fun catching people on the higheway in first and blowing past in second to a glowingly useless 3rd and fuel saving fourth lol

I'm thinking of doing a manual in my new truck just not sure yet
