Well no offence to any one it looks like I'll be keep the factory 3 speed for I'm not screwing up a truck that has taken alot of money and time to restore. It just will not make a good truck to drive down the interstate. maybe i could if I run extreamly high gears it will.

i currently have to plans of attack for the highway issue with my flatty powered 53 . one i put a t98 heavy four speed in it to replace the weak 3 speed as i tend to use and abuse despite saying i won't . i have an 8.8 diff with a 3.08 gear in it i was going to put in her to use in conjunction with the four gear . with the ultra low first taking off is no problem and with the low gear i might actually be able to go 55 , maybe even the speed limit 65 or gasp , break it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or i just recently procured a t5 from a freebie s10 i was given and keep the oe 3.92 geared diff . the truck is at my cuz's as he intends to stick another 400sbc in one , and the tranny , and all it's bits are mine . despite our beloved flatties being a little low on power they still are more than capable of working their butts off and were different ladies and gent's !! no 5.0's and sbc's for us !!!!!!!!!!!!!
