The truck is 80% done, plus10% new parts in boxes, so all I have to come up with is a month and a little cash. Doors will be painted tomorrow and cab will follow in the next few weeks.
I believe I have a high speed rear end too, but I've been wrong before. 5.17 30x5 speedo drive gear and hoping a matching rear end.

Thanks, Pat

Look here on how to check the rear end ratios.
