Got a 3.42 gearset sittin' here awaiting install ... 2.73's just
don't cut it up here . I may decide I don't need a cam/headers/manifold
to be happy with the way it drives after I get it geared down some .

Ye'r getting old... I'm happy if it drives nowadays at any speed ;-)

Put smaller wheels on it - - - - -

My truck has 3.55 gears - but when I put the 16 inch wheels on
instead of the factory 14s it had the effect of putting in 3:27s or
3:31s


Â* I'll probably put some taller tires on this truck , IIRC it's
currently running p235/75 - 15's . Got a great buy on a set of
nearly-new Kenda's , the ones that were on it were about worn out so I
replaced them .
