the thing is truck has been in active duty for 38 year's. . . only has 7,900 miles on it. . . the chance of me putting another 8,000 miles on it in my life time very slim. . . so even if the tranny held up for 12,000 miles that's more than plenty. . . a .62:1 OD is all i want. . .
I'll have it rebuilt if the is any heavy duty up grades i'll do them other wise a rebuild and running top notch heavy duty 80w-140 weight gear oil should by me more than enought time i would say. . .
if it'll run 58-62mph it may get more miles but if 45mph is about it than it'll only go to the badger steam and gas show whitch is a 40 mile round trip once a year. . .about 40 miles a year. . . that's 100 year's if it lasts 4,000 miles. . .
truck ain't going to haul anything. . . I'll be the only driver so i'll be running it very easy. . .
