thank you guys for the info.
yeah, i officially went with the dana 60 today with the 3.54 ring/pinion.
i can't wait to try this truck on the freeway after the install.
Richard, i have always wanted to make that trip out to el mirage!
i am fortunate to live in a place where we really don't need ac. we don't have it in our house, and i really will never need it in my truck. the drum brakes with single master cylinder stop the thing on a dime, but when you have 4.56 ring/pinion you barely need to use the brakes!
the power steering on the other hand, that will be my next upgrade. turning this thing in tight beach parking, on small streets, can be a bit challenging.
thank you all for the communication, i will let you know how it turns out after this weekend.
