72 k10
72 K10 with a SM465 tranny, and 3.08 diffs. Am going with a LS 5.3 and wondering what my Highway speeds / rpms will be with the SM465 and 3.08 diffs. Any one run this kind of set up in either 2wd or 4x4 mode? was really not wanting to change out steering column and pedals to go with a 4l60 or auto trans unless I really have to.

Re: 72 k10
Some folks have done NV4500 swaps to keep their pedals and get a good highway o/d. I'd restore that pup, NICE truck. What's the condition of the current motor?

Re: 72 k10
Nice truck! Is It just me or is there something up with the wheel base? Looks like the rear wheels sit pretty far forward in the well.
