3.13 Gears with 302/C4

My dad just got 3.13s to run in the Slick I sold him. Will this do any thing for improved gas milage, or maybe just make it not Rev so high? I think the 64 has 3:89s stock in the 9" currently. I swapped in a 302 non HO and C4 from a stang with a shortened DS. Thanks in advance for the input.

Brian, that is a nice looking ride there! This show was smaller then in the past, and a 1/4 of the Turkey Run, but was amazing to me as it was for first time to have my own vehicle at Daytona. I was sporting a Slick 60s logo , but only saw yours and the Body Dropped one. I talked to his buddies with...

Wanting to change gears, what did low gears come in ???

I have a 64 with 302/C4 swapped in. Talked to a bunch of people that suggested lower gears, like 300 ? I am currently getting 6mpg, I just got her to run after 5 years, and now can't afford to drive. So what vehicles can I find these low gears in to donate? I think I have a have a 9" rear with ...

I added disc brakes and power brakes and now my pedal goes to the floor and the truck slowly comes to a stop, kind of still rolling. THere is no way to lock them. Could I just n...

Thanks for the advice guys! It's funny this is actually for my front leaf U-bolts. I only had to cut one taking them off, and at that point had new ones made from a machine shop. Now a few years later I lowered the front temporarily by removing leafs. The ones I got new are too long and not threaded...

how to remove packed in dirt/clay out of bolt threads?

My truck is From Georgia, and some of the undercarriage bolts have an extreme build up of dirt/clay especially the leaf springs u-bolts. Any one have a similar issue or know of a solution. I soaked them in a mixture of brake cleaner, degreaser, and gas, then scrubbed with wire brush and still can't ...

thanks for the pics Greg D, going to try it for temp as I am low on cash. Having brain fart, how do you unbolt the the bolt that goes through the middle of all the leafs, can you just unbolt the front shackle to take out the leafs, and did you use your stock length u bolts? thanks
