i thought i did that here but it looks like you might want a book written for you so ok. like i said (A HOT ROD) but no racing at the track but i live in MT the closest town is 35 miles away and the big town (bozeman) is over 60 so yes i will need hiway speeds this truck was a farm truck top speed 45 50mph. and the speed limit when their is one is 75mph. i have a pic of the truck when it is complete so you can see and get a better idea of what i am building i do not know how to post it up so if someome will do it that would be great so all can see. i think it will help for you to under stand where i am going with this. sorry for being a [censored] but i hate when people just beat around the bush and not answer a question. i am not building so show car i am building something me and my new wife can cruz and have fun with. and i am building the drive train first ( motor, trans, and rear end) then the body, and in side. i do not what to take ten years doing this while the truck sits. if i can get the truck driving down the road then i can go back and do the big money work like brand new stuff like front clips @ $4k but at least i can drive it around now that to me is the whole point to this is have fun and drive the wheels off of it! not have it sitting and worrying on how much that part is. so again i ask what rearend can i use out of a junk yard car that wouldnt be to much moding to get it to work and what gear so far i think 3.73 might be it but you guys know better than i do. and that is why i am on here so i dont make a big $$$ mistake. again sorry for being an [censored] but their was a better way to make your point than the way you did. but point was loud and clear.
ok good i just did not want to put the motor in and go down the road and have to be pulled back because the rearend is gone. and it is intended to be a street rod. no drag racing just nice crusing in town and some fast stuff but not racing. i want to have it lowered with some bigger wheels disk brakes to start dont want it all that wild keep the stock look just lower and big wheels w/ power
