Thnaks Protrash64 and Allan......Getting ready to pull the motor in the El Camino this weekend.. Will be taking the t350, brake booster, master cylinder and a few other odds and ends... Should work out pretty well...
Finally recieved the shocks that I ordered, took about 3 weeks... grrr Anyways very happy, ended up going with a budget Pro-Comp Toxic shock. They were around $30 a piece. I was having trouble waiting and went for a few rides with no shocks at all, yikes!
Shocks are installed and work great (compared to nothing at all, really do work well) they will work just fine for my application and the price was right..
While jacking the truck up to install the shocks, I thought that I would try and figure out what rear gears I had. (Inline 6, three on the tree ,open differential) I marked the tire with a piece of tape along with the drive shaft, rotated the tire one full turn and the drive shaft turned just shy of 2 complete turns??? 3 3/4 turns = 3.73, 3 plus a fuzz = 3.08 ??? I was told this was a good rule of thumb, yes or no? What gears do I have?
Chased Down fellow forum members truck the other day, thanks again Mike for all the great info...
