Some good ideals here. Sounds like the rear end swap is the easiest but limits speed increase to around 60mph, but on the possitive side will maintain the 3/4 ton power. It's off to find a 68-72 4:10 rear...thanks
The combined T5 tranny and 4:10 rear swap done by Tlorber above sounds good. Tlorber, did you keep all your E-brake set up original with that swap? This 3/4 ton has the E-brake on the floor. And what vehicle did you get the T5 out of to bolt to the engine. There is a 1955 261 six in my truck that I am going to keep.So I am not sold on the trans swap yet, so if anymore 3/4 or 1 tons out there have any input on tranny swaps for the bigger trucks?
