got it running again





drug out one of my unibodies and fired it up this weekend.
Its got a very good running 223
I plan on going thru the brakes and start driving
needs a better gear or add an OD
has 390 gears now
I think it was an old power company truck, it has never had mirrors and only a drivers side sun visor, the only possible option is the heater

Anthony, That 223 has pretty small gonads, better leave the rear ratio along til you put something a little bigger up front that can power a change.

Keep in mind that truck was built when truck speed limits was 45 mph.
