Doesn't appear there'll be too many bugs to work out of that part of things Engine seems to run quite good, I think No funny noises or nuthin' We are going to have to, at some point, maybe rethink how the clutch is lashed up It has about 3" of travel, and it's all at the top...

Yeah, we've talked about building a stop under it. Terry will be putting new floors in it directly, so may have him do that at the same time. Steve thought maybe a slight reshape on the pedal arm may help, too. Overall, everything seems to work like Mother Nature intended

Ratios are: 3.83, 2.33, 1.44, 1.00, 0.79. D300 has 2.62 low range, and the axles 4.30. It should be more than good for how the critter is likely to get used

Rethinking!and there is nothing worse than when I start thinking.
Since I am going to have all the suspension out from under my truck and the fact that I've always wanted some sort of prerunner.
I'm thinking of picking up some Deaver spring and staying spring under,while triming the fenders(that are all damaged anyways).
I still have to buy shock and moint towers,all the stuff I have ordered(spring plates,u-bolts,shackle reversal ect.ect.)will all still be usable in this application.
I think I just need the springs really,already have race seats and planning to build a cage.
So really to change to this style of rig wouldn't be that big of deal
Any thoughts are welcomed

Is there a chance of this needing an upgrade to long travel yokes in the driveshafts? I also am looking into springs, as is Steve, I bet
