I rebuilt the TH350 with a 2000 rpm stall torque converter.

The axles came with 411 gears and since I'm not putting any lockers in at this phase I'm going to run those and see how they work. Lockers are in the future, but that will be the next phase of the build.....which is next winter.

I'll be running BFG Mud Terrain KM2 35 inchers on ProComp rims.

Should be OK with that 383 and that combination.

This isn't a crawler, it's a "trail" truck that will see more road time than trail time.

But, with the 8 lug axles I can take those tires off after summer is over and swap them onto my big Ford and use them during the winter too ;-)
