Absolutely beautiful truck!!! A build done right!!! Thank you for sharing. I have a couple of questions. I am building a truck similar to yours and I am also installing a Gear Vendors under/overdrive unit. What gear size are you running in the rear and what is the rpm at cruising speed?

I'm running a 3.25 gear. The first time I had it working was today and I didn't check the RPM's. I could hear the drop in RPM but never looked that close at what it actually was turning. I have a Dakota Digital analog dash and the tach is kinda hard to see.

Ok, thank you!!! Again, you and the team have done a great job. If you decide to redo the interior I am interested in what comes out if you decide to sell it. 😊👍

Jack, beautiful truck. As I stated previously, while the pictures are excellent, they don't do it justice and I saw it over a month ago when it wasn't finished.

So Jack, are you going to take out on East Main Saturday afternoon sometime?

Seriously, would love to see it on the street sometime.

I actually had it out that way today. We took a drive over Crouch Mesa the back to Piñon Hills. I was testing the overdrive and seeing if it had any problems. I'm taking back to Jim on Monday to fix a few things then we will be getting ready for the Good guys show in Loveland next weekend.

I thought of another question that I'm hoping others would like to know as well. I know you are running 19x12 and 18x10 rims. Would you please share the tire sizes as well? I have looked through the pages to try and find it. If I missed it I apologize to all in advance. 😊

We made it Loveland last weekend and came away with The Goodguys Hot Hauler and a Pinkees Builders Choice awards. Great trip, the truck got a ton of attention. Now motor change time then get ready for Des Moines.

Engine out, having a low oil pressure problem. We decided to change it rather than risk damaging the 427.
