Hi all. Well, I got the truck today. 54 5w 3100 with 235 & 3 on the tree. Will post some pics soon. Truck is in great shape and runs well, drives great, very tight, tracks straight.
I plan to make this my primary mode of transportation. I'd like to put it out to the group and ask what you feel should be done to achieve this. I want to stick with the 235 or perhaps a 261 if I can find one. Also want to keep the truck stock in appearance but make it as reliable and safe as possible.
So far I'm thinking automatic, disc brakes (front for sure and perhaps rear), convert to 12v and A/C (mandatory in FL). I'll need to change the rear and have no idea what might be a good choice.
I really appreciate all your previous advice and info. I look forward to the replies and getting into this project.
One other thing. I need the truck while this transformation takes place so it'll have to be in stages that can be done without having the truck down for weeks.
With all the crazy drivers we have here I think brakes will be a top priority along with radial tires.
As always thanks in advance for the input.
