i'm bored as hell too dillin. 83, by trans gear did you mean axle gear, as in ring and pinion? you didn't say auto or manual, but either way your final drive is a 1.0 to 1.0 ratio. unless someone swapped gears in the axles at some point and time, you have either 3.55's or 4.10's.

should be 6 or 7 inches wide. i wouldn't go past a 10'' wide rim with those tires, and more than likely an 8'' is the best

well it could be worse. at your age this time on a saturday night i was normally leaving one party and going to the next. sounds fun, but i would have taken a welder and shop over a party any day of the week. wish my dad would have brought some of his tools home from work. he's been a maintanence crew leader for almost 40 years. he has some fun stuff i could be using. it's gonna be cool when he retires in a year and realizes he doesn't have any room for his 5+ mac tool chests and all the power tools and such that he keeps at work
