thanks man! i think we all are at this point

STOCKISH · 04-12-2011, 12:49 PM

Hmmmm, Those 225s would look sick on my 70! Wish I had the cash buddy, sure would like to help you out with them.

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!

Not the gas mileage though!

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.

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.

*Stitch* · 04-13-2011, 01:33 PM

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

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.......)

STOCKISH · 04-13-2011, 03:44 PM

I started one but progress has been slow. Fixing a few things around the house first.

Make me a good enough deal Chuck, I could use a 4x4 crew cab still.

Trying to get Chucky all riled up!

*Stitch* · 04-13-2011, 07:30 PM

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* · 04-14-2011, 06:32 PM

Looks like the crewcab 'whore' might be going back to it's second home once again lmao

Oh yeah, sorry about jackin your thread Dennis but someones gotta keep this thing alive.

Just throw it in the back yard. I'm sure your wife will understand.
