Hell yeah!!

Couple things to do first. Now the front axle is 4.10 ratio and the rear is 4.56. I have a set of gears and locker diff to get installed. When I took it out on the highway for the test drive it was lugging a bit. I've had problems with grit in the fuel clogging the jets so I put a filter on but there may still be a problem. It will need to be aligned. I put collector plates on it so to drive it anywhere I just have to contact the insurance company so it's legal.

The next upgrade I'm planning is exhaust. It has a tiny single exhaust that is choking the big 400. But that's going to wait a bit. I need to diagnose a problem with my 71 engine and get the crewcab back together. Finally done with working weekends for a while and it's warming up so that's what I'll be wrenching on.

Pic for attention...
