Re: "Brown Truck" 1984 K30 Crew Cab

I knew the 4.56 were too low when i put the motor in. I just flat ran out of time on the engine swap so once it was running and moving down the road I drove it the plan at that time was to swap gears the truck the motor and trans came out of had 3.42 I was going to put in 3.73 but have not ordered the gears so have been thinking about a way to split what I got. The truck most generally does not go over 30 miles from home and probably has a trailer on 50% of the time (moving machinery and cattle).

As far as what is next I am have a few things.

small stuff I want to change with the motor swap
electric fan controllers
clean the wiring up
fix windshield wipers

new front leaf springs

finish the interior
little more sound deadening
head liner
sound system

Paint going to have the local Vo tech school paint it some time next school year if funds allow
