May I ask? Are those the correct wheel size? If so, what size and size of tires?

I bought it and been redoing the fuel system, misc wiring, motor mounts, brakes and sealed up the engines systems. Need to figure out what is wrong with heater, turn signals I am keeping it all stock for now and looking at hot rodding it when I collect all the parts. Looking at LS1,6spd manual and new suspension system that I can drive everyday at all safe speeds.

What tranny and rear gears are you running? I replaced the 4:11 with 3:55. Kept the torque tube drive line. Now I can drive it on the interstate and keep up with the big boys.
Would love to see pics of your motor and cab interior.

Torque tude drive line. It will go 55 quite easy, on the level. Will see if I can get some pictures of the engine posted. | | |
