i will be swapping the old drum axles for newer disc brake axles. i am trying to find a set of D60 front and D70 rear or D60 front and GM 14bolt full float rear with 3.73 gearing for the the amount of towing i will be doing, which isnt alot but some, and the transmission and evrything the 3.73's seem the best option for good performance and decent mileage. and as far as the tires go i really want to put some kumho Mk71 33x12.5x18's under this truck on matte black ultrawheel magnus rims. i would love to have 8-lug axles but it isnt a must. i dont know if those size tires will fit though but i sure hope they will.
with the wiring harness for the motor i will have to get on the other forum site and get advice cause i dont really know anything about that. the mechanics i will be working with should know plenty but right now i wouldnt even know what to look for. i do know that i found a duramax and talked the seller into leaving the ECU on the motor so that is oneheadache out of the way at least. thanks for all the help.
