Mike, i thought 9r22.5 was the largest we could run without the duals rubbing on each other. Dont know why but i did, anywho... its not really as much about the speed per say. 60-65 is probably as fast as i want to take it but i sure would like the keep the rpms as low as i can as my motor makes plenty of tq. Feeding a bbc fuel at 3k(+) would be so inefficient it would cost more to cross the country than it would to pay a transport haha. What rpms are you turning at 65mph? and whats the "high" rear gear in your truck? I think mines mid to high 6's:1 i sure would like to convert it to an electric 2 speed just by swapping the actuators if possible so i dont have to run a vac pump. But im not even sure if i can get one of those either
As far as big truck junk yards im not sure if there are any around me, ive never seen one in my junkyard hunting travels im in MA look there for a spicer aux box i assume
