Are there any kind of numbers on it?

What engine is he running, the stock 6? Still the stock tranny? What kind of top speed is he getting?

I ask, because in the future, i'd like to swap rear ends eventually to get a little better top end speed.. but I really love my 216 and the reverse lockout on the 4 speed stock tranny.

Silly I know, but if I can get a little better highway speeds (in the 60MPH range) i'd rather keep the stock motor and swich to a 4 speed with an open driveshaft (like out of a 3/4 ton) and just swap out the rear.

So i'm pretty curious as to what your buddies truck has for a back end, too!


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
