that was very quiet, but very cool too. What air pressure are you at? lower it a little, you will hook a bit better (free fix) or get better tires. Have fun!

Yeah, it was quiet...but as of friday, that'll change, cuz I'm getting my new exhaust put on. (True Duals with Aerochambers) As for the tires...these are just my street tires, I have 2 275/60 15 BFG Drag Radials for the back, when my posi gets in.

Because the tires were hot and greasy. Get the posi installed and then work on getting it to hook up. Think Cal-Tracs

Sweet video though, truck is coming along nicely.

My friend has those on his 79 C10 (axle isn't flipped yet) So, after I get my posi and stuff, I'll try to figure out how to get traction. I don't think even my VETTE can boil the back tires as well as this ole' truck can!
Me and my friend both got a quote for an Eaton Posi, 3.73 gears and installation along with new axles $1500. Does that sound right?

My '67 does that with anything less then the 32x11.5's I have on the back. It's got 3.73s and posi.... I think it's 'cause there is no weight back there You should see the smoke cloud with some old bias plys soaked in oil.

I think one of my tires made a chirping sound once. It was probably something I ran over...

Really. My little 305 has never been able to turn a tire in the 2 years I have owned it.

No weight over the tires makes a big difference...

Well, I had this for my gears
Eaton: $480
Gears: $150
install kit: $90
Setup: $150
Total is $870. If that helps you out. To me, $1500 sounds high.

That sounds a little high, Tim. I have a new 12-bolt with a 33-spline Eaton posi., Moser Drive axles, 3.73 gears, chrome differential cover, and other miscellaneous things for $1,300. That included giving the shop my factory 10-bolt.

My 305 just started being able to sqeak. I took the muffler off, and now I gun it and it sqeaks and slips for 1/4 a revolution of the wheel. It is sad, but at least I get something now!
