Re: Gotta love OLD SCHOOL!

Re: Gotta love OLD SCHOOL!
Nothing better than old school. Being able to sit under the hood while you workis great. No pc needed to work on these trucks.

Re: Gotta love OLD SCHOOL!
1800 rpm would be nice, what tranny do you have or does it have really high gears in it.
Mine turns more like 2600rpms at 65. Posted via Mobile Device |

Also I do not even know what gearing is in it,,right now it has a turbo 350 with 35" tires and built 396,,I am swaping in the 85 3/4 ton 8 lug suburban axles with a 4L60e trans soon and those axles have 4:10 gearing,,you can see the donor suburb in the back ground.
