Hi 1 ton folks

Trying to get Howard Knapp to run faster without spending $3000.00 for an over drive or finding a decent (now vintage) S10 transmission that is 5 speed to make this old truck run down the road faster than it's current top speed of 53 mph. Currently running 235/75/15's that are supposed to be 29" tall but actually more like 28.5" tall.

I think I need taller tires, it has been suggested that 16" or 17" wheels and tires might be of help.

So who has the secret source for decent 6 lug 16" or 17" Chevy steel or aluminum wheels and then some tall skinny tires?

I have a CPP disc brake kit on the front axle and a 4.10 geared 1985 Chevy K5 Blazer rear end taking up the rear.

Any insight would be a wonderful thing.
