That's what he said. I didn't get to look at the engine bay. He said it was the third motor in the truck and it has over 300,000 miles it. He is selling and wants $5000!! Crazy!!

I really like those. My work allows me to have a lot of public interaction, and last week I met a guy who still owns and bought new a 1966 ranger long bed. Even had black buckets which looked real nice. He pulled the original 352 and put a big block in it.

S-10 T5

Would it be worth it and could a stock 292 Y-block work with an S-10 T5. I know you can use the NWC T-5 out of mustangs, but just curious about this. Friend is using the S-10 T5 behind his Lincoln flathead with good results. Now i know the engines are like comaparing apples to oranges, but cant help...

Once this is done, I need to figure something out for the steering column and steering box. Want to replace with a universal tilt column and not sure on what manual box to use. Dont want power steering.

For those of you that did the rear flip, did you keep the stock shock locations and use them? I kept the mounts and Im running 73 Chevy 1/2 ton front shocks in the back.

Just looked at No Limits springs with 4" drop. Think thats the way to go. Price is decent when you consider it comes with all the bushings and hardware. Next question, anyone have any steering adjustments needed after they lowered the truck? I do plan on getting an alinement.

Greg, funny you say the axle will not improve my ride and monos will. Not saying your wrong, just all the feed back Ive gotten has been just the opposite. Most have said the monos make the truck ride like a stage coach! Im running bias ply firestones 6.50X15. Now I know they make the truck drive lik...
