Super sweet.

Thanks but my rears are just 15 x 7's (IIRC). 15 x 6's up front.

Here's my 69 it's a cammed 5.3 ls with head work and a carb setup for now. It's around 350 to the wheels with a tremec tko and a 3.73 posi out back. Full ridetech suspension. Looking to upgrade to adjustable qa1 shocks and a muscle bar.

Nice......The TKO is a 6 spd as well, isn't it? How tall are your rear tires? Do you even get into 5th with the 3.73 rear? I've got 4.56's and 29" tall rears and am doing over 80 mph at 2500 rpm. I probably could have even gone 4.88's but would have turned first into a granny gear. Right now its still useable around town and I can use fifth (somewhat) around 55 mph on backroads.

Hamjet , think I told you this before ,, love your truck,, w motor just 'belongs' in these older trucks

my old 68 with original paint , and a ly6 has surprised many

The tko is just a 5 speed. I did get in over my head with 3.73 rear gears I'm turning 2000 at 75 and my cam doesn't come in until 2300 so I have to run down the road at about 90! It does go fast though I've had the speedometer back to zero once. I'm not sure how fast that is but it's to much!

Now this is a cool truck!
