I was going with a 5.3 b.c they make awesome power stock, and if I get on a crazy angle with the rig on a log of rock it will stay running (if a guy kept it FI) most carbs would choke out, and I have a th350 and Np208 so that's why I was going to use them, but a turbo 400 and 205 would be awesome but 205s are getting hard to find

Good morning guys! Just popping in for a sec, before heading out to the garage. Going to do some spot weld drilling, then later this afternoon, headed over to the BIL's to finally get the front and rear axles out of that 79, so I can get it to scrap. I'll bring the front axle home, and get it ready to put on the 67's frame. Dallas wanted the back axle, so I'll get it ready for him to come snag. Have a great day, guys!

Good morning everyone. Another Sunday stuck at work. Ug. But, did get some stuff done yesterday. Got the Dana 44 out of the 79. It's in Black's bed right now, need to get it powerwashed at the MIL's before I bring it home, it's pretty filthy. Would have gotten the rear axle out, but some buffoon put metric lugnuts on it, and I didn't have any metrics with me, so hopefully get that out this week. Here's what is left of the truck.....

Morning Larry, Phil! They are 5 luggers. I think my BIL is going to use them on something. I'll have to check out the video at home, Phil, they have YouTube blocked here at work.

Howdy guys!
4.9, I think that a limited slip rear end is definitely worth having if you use your 4x4, or even if you don't have 4x4. Also consider a detroit true-trac locker. For roughly the same price as the limited slip axle, you could have a true locker, and the detroits have a great following and reputation.
