I probably paid too much for the truck but for the money I paid I could not get it in this condition. I checked the rear end ratio today during breaks in the rain and it has a 4.11 rear end as far as I can tell so it will need an overdrive trans to make it a good highway rig. I drove it about 5 miles the other day and it seemed to drive nice but at 55 MPH ti seemed like it really wanted to shift again. The small block is a little small I think for it, needs a big block to make it go.
