It can blow the plugs out.

And wreak havoc with the Hi side check valve. Ask me how I know.

Why pay a tire shop when you can sweat your you know what off and do it yourself! I can't believe the beads broke off as well as they did. Now just have to wrestle it onto the new (to me ) rim.

81 to 40??

81 to 40??

Yup . I got off at exit 236 on 40

Truck averaged 12.5 mpg but I was doing 80 at times . Sure if I swapped out the 4.11 to 3.54 or 3.73 ratio it would be better . The truck with the cap in the picture is a big block 454 he averaged 17 but he put a 6l80 in it over the winter . I may do that or get a gear vendor Over/under drive unit and AC

My '69 K20 with4.56 rear was about 9.5 uphill, downhill didn't matter. Topped out a little over 90. Miss that beast. Had 3 gas tanks, held 55 gallons total. Bought it used in Wyoming, moved it to Pennsylvania and eventually sold it.

That is ond that's on my bucket list. Heard soooooo much good about them. I have a real rough carcass out there that I believe is a pioneer but I wouldn't have a clue what model.

The gear vendor units are nice, we put one in my cousins 74-f150 don't think he'd go back to driving that truck without it.
