Re: 1966 custom cab short
Thanks! First gear is like bull low just like the sm420 . Shifts nice around town I haven’t had it on the hiway yet. The 283 is sure slow I’m too used to driving my 6 litre boosted truck lol

Re: 1966 custom cab short
Up next will be this 46 survivor. It runs and drives but needs some work to get it road worthy. It’s too original to molest but I picked up a 45 as well last summer with no drive train so I”ll probably end up putting a ls in it and update suspension , front end etc . Be hanging out in the pre 47 forum for awhile

Re: 1966 custom cab short
The ratios in my t5 aren’t the greatest on the hiway I’m revving 2800 rpm at 60-65 mph and 1st gear is like a granny gear . I should of looked into the specs more before I bought it . I found a Camaro t5 last night for cheap so will swap that in as the ratios are much better . Also putting a set of camel hump heads, cam, intake and carb to help the 283 out

Re: 1966 custom cab short
Yes it’s a 4 cylinder S10 tranny . The Camaro V8 ratios will suit this 283 much better
