I make more money that you, my wife is hotter than yours, my thingy is bigger than yours
Well Santa Cruz crawler I live in Martinez, I didn't know anything about what the truck had, I just wanted it to start my project. but if it has 4.88 I might just have to swap the axles. If you remember anything thing else thAt the guy said it had on it tell me so I don't buy something I need , well not for now
You will only need to swap your gears if you plan on going big, like bigger than 36 or 37. I am going to 4.88 on purpose with my 36 in Irok. I also live a decent drive from wheeling spot, so I don't want to be taching out 5th on the drive there.
taching out 5th?? i dont think you are gona have to worry about that with big tires you will barely get 4th let alone 5th i have 33's and my truck never sees fith and its my dd
Hey I'm still new to the whole building stuff, so I was wondering what are all the things I need to get for re gearing and adding lockers to my 79
Where did u get those side drafts? Did they come w the brown truck?When I looked at it it had a 20r 22r hybrid motor sidedraft Webbers488 gears front and rear , a second throttle brake lever on the stick shifterA tree fell on the bed ! The bottom end of the hybrid swap , need piston rings that's what I was told. But once apon a time that truck FAST. Good parts Was for sale$1000 firm capitola rd Santa cruz ca 95062I'll be watching this build !
what size of tires are on the blue truck ? 33's and 35's on the other? going to buy some tires and trying to figure out which ones look better
this is what i have done with the 79 so far bc of work and the girl friend wanting to do stuff since she says we never do anything.which is bull
I was told with 5.29's and 35's on freeways fifth gear was too low. my 4.10 sees 4th on free way just fine with 36 Iroks as long as its flat, and not windy. My point was if I bought a truck with 4.88's I wouldn't be worried about swapping the axles. Sounds like a good find to me.
I'd have to disagree with that, My truck with 5.29's and 35's would cruise perfectly at 70mph on the freeway in 5th gear.Nice truck man. What exactly are you going for, mild trail truck or what?
Your truck is a V6 though right? First hand experience 22re with top shift trany on 5.29 will tach out with that size tire. not trying to argue just point out if your tranny is geared different that will also be a factor.
