Garry I've got an SM420 and 3.08 gears, and I still start off in 2nd almost all the time. Of course its a 1/2-ton truck and rarely carries more than just the driver.

Of course I'm running a GMC 270 instead of the 235 and those extra inches do make a difference.


1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more...
It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
