I spin 38.5's high range with 4.88's, stock 302, first gear in my zf pretty easy. I could do it with 4.56's.

Not just turning the tires over, I mean like 60 mph wheel speed in 2 feet of mud. I'm not buying that motor. I'm lookin at a older truck with a 514, dana 60's, blah,blah,blah. Later

Nice lookin truck, but a 502 Big block and a D-44 front axle might not mix too well.

A solid Dana 44 is a upgrade for me. But I do like my extended cab, power windows and cold A/C. Running the mudbog just messed my head up for a hotrod truck. I think I need 2 trucks.
