wow.....this has come a LOOOONG way! and it looks great! I went through all 94 pages but I didn't read all of the comments.....how long do you think it took you total to rewire everything? I've never done it before and I'm considering doing the upgrade to a EZ or Painless just do to the sorry condition of the wires I have now....hopefully I'm not in over my head since I do have the patience of the guy who invented patience.....I just don't have the experience

Love your truck man...

Not the gas mileage though!

You're crazy as hell! I am currently doing a frame off resto mod on a 70 CST. I WILL need another old body style crew cab one day though. It would be at the house now if Chuck and I could have got together on transport a few months ago. Neither one of us could manage it at that time.

Have you started a build thread yet? I need to check this out. Dennis has left me kanging on my body off build thread fix! (I have to live vicariously through you guys that actually make progress on your projects.......)

Puglia10 · 04-12-2011, 10:51 PM

woops, didnt see the price when I first asked. A little too much for me right now, such a shame since thats the EXACT set up I want for my '80!

Looks so sick...some day, oh well, good luck with the sale and keep us updated!

Driveway Dreams · 04-12-2011, 11:28 PM

hoping to better the ecomony on our TBSS with a 6 speed auto some day. The 4L70e just doesn't have a tall enough OD for the 4.10 gears. I guess a gear vendors od might be another route. I have heard of guys putting 3.42's in their TBSS.

I thought about changing gears when we had ours, but just wasn't worth the effort. I heard it won't gain you that much to offset the cost. Our Tahoe is actually better on gas mileage, and the payoff will come much quicker. However it cost $91.00 to fill it up the other day

*Stitch* · 04-13-2011, 01:33 PM

My crew will probably still be in the yard later on lmfao
