Okay,
I have been reading alot of posts the last two days and have been hearing the plus and minus of both setups so I will offer it to the group. I have a1954 Chevy 3600 with a 235. It has the original rear end which I believe to be the 4.57. I recently picked up an '87 T5 S10 tranny for cheap and have a line on a Dana 60 8 lug rear end with 4.11 gears for $50. I plan on just using the truck for cruising at 55-60 mph and occasional hauling.
Should I just go with the T5 and keep the original rear end as some have suggested to me on the phone or should I do the T5 AND the Dana 60 with the 4.11 gears?
Thanks
Todd
