Re: '71 Burb "Earl" suspension
Hey, Joe. Sounds like we have similar plans for our 'burbs. Your thoughts on rear suspension mirror my own for sure. I have a 3.73 rear, and I'll keep an eye on milage on the 1800 mile drive to PA. I for sure couldn't go to 3.07 with my 350 and plan to tow very much. 454 certainly changes things though! What tranny are you running? A swap to an OD transmission is on my 'some day' list.
Plan for tires is to run the radials on rallyes and have a set of 'tow' wheels/rubbers on 16" truck rallyes, wagon wheels, etc. I honestly won't tow very often, so would like to keep the 15"s and radials for daily use, then swap out to a higher rated set to drag the 22' Argosy... though "Supertramp" only weighs 3800 lbs dry. Maybe I'm overthinking this...
This stuff is fun, ain't it?
