Thanks John. That certainly does help. I hadn't thought about the taller stance. We're getting ready to cut out the back wall of the garage and build a detached garage behind the house. So, may have to cut the wall higher than planned.
I would think a World Class T5 from a V8 such as the one I installed on my C20 would work OK and provided other mechanical stuff was satisfactory, 65mph (legal California limit in town) would be reasonable.
Supposing the bed is as good as the picture, is there anything else that'd be a real pain in the arse to come up with? For instance, what if the front drums don't have much more for turning? Can you get drums for a 3800 or is it a search to find good used?
BradB.,
I was posting at the same time as you. The guy told me it has new gas shocks all the way around.
