I think I'm ready, the only thing I haven't tried yet is a full power hole shot in low range. I will try that tonight, better to break at home if it's going to happen.

Ya, i aggree! that ia a great upgrade from the torsion bar set up! Way to roll bro! And yes again good eye on the 70 C-10 doing some "and thats an understatement " rewiring on it for him, somebody butchered it badly loose wires everywhere and not a single connector not one. he also has a 40 something ford pick up that i would like to get my hands on and finish for him, about half done and a completly stock model T i put together and got up and running for him ! man talk about a blast from the past i think that was the most fun i have had in a long time. theres an old boy down in denver that has and sells the parts and manuels and will take the time to sit down and pass on his knowlage, resources whatever, just for the love of the car! not enough of those old fella's left ! geuss we are the next round huh! big shoes to fill, but if anybody notices my garage is always full and most the time its not with my stuff! like you said buddy " they said it couldnt be done so i had to prove them wrong" Good one ! And hey bud did you see you got nominated also! LoL ! Right on! congrats that tahoe of yours is hands down a winner as far as im concerned all the right parts in all the right places ! The white boys huh they know not what they do ! Good luck and i mean that no b.s. here red, talk at ya later Later !
