Re: low rear end ratio's....where at? 3.07/3.23 etc
Depending on what truck I picked up.... I would definately be a 2wd....
1971-72 SWB 1/2 ton... I am leaning towards this for looks, parts availability, more of them around etc... with the b3.3t or qsb3.3 as it is only 550lbs, about the same as a 350/396. you can get them at 100hp/300 ft-lbs.... more than enough to drive around, although I wouldn't be smoking the tires anytime soon.
Or a c/20 longhorn due to the 8.5 ft bed... I have a few motorcycles, and a 30ft sailboat (only 4000lbs), where the 4bt or even a 6bt is an option, but the 4bt is ~760lbs so it is already getting a bit heavy esp with the 900+lb 6bt.
Thinking about diesel conversions is always a great thing, but the cost to convert is a super long payoff, so the 5.3efi always looks good, but its not capable of running svo no matter what you do...
