"As a side note, a forum friend has a 67-72 truck with a T5, 250ci and a 3.42 rear. His OD gear is 0.72 and he complained to me that he has to down shift on hills because the engine bogs."
That's exactly what I thought my problem would be around my area with a 3.42 or higher. Thx Lugnutz. Thx again also for the T5 help.
