    which transmission?

    I'm really not sure which trans to go on my C20 on 37s. I want better highway rpm but better launching. I was wondering if there was a decent mechanical auto trans with overdrive. I'm trying to be cost effective. I'm on a tight budget.:lazer:

    what did I get myself into?

    Thanks for the thought I appreciate it. That seems like an awful waste of a perfectly good frame. I would waste one of my father in-laws frames. I could do the same thing by welding the shackles and spring hangers. Slightly more challenging, but doable.

    Yeah bucket I'm just going to fix the frame get a new motor mount and make it a 4x4. My father in law has axles and transfer cases galore plus two fully put together 4X4 suburban chassis so I'll just Frankenstein it with the subies. I appreciate all of your feedback and help. I'll keep you guys...

    Thanks a lot madogre. I saw something like this on extreme 4X4 years ago but I'm real fuzzy on how exactly. I just scared I'm going to make a bad thing worse. Frakly I'm kind of excited to rip into the truck. I'm going to pull of the front clip so I don't have to use a ladder to work on the...

    You think maybe I could use one of those suburban frames it's close to the same length. The rear bumper might not fit but I would use it anyway

    The wife fell In love with the lift. My father inlaw has a chevy graveyard and offered to help turn it into a 4X4 and maybe I would put a lift on after. Everything he has is from three 3/4 ton suburbans 79 to 91. I forget the other one.

    I know right. The power steering works great though, I would never have noticed a problem if I didn't take a look. Initially I was really surprised at how responsive the steering is for being so big with such large rolling stock.

    what did I get myself into?

    I bought this 73 camper special 2X4 with a "rebuit" 350. It's lifted. Don't knowhow much with 37s. They have two pieces of square tubing stacked on top one another as lifting blocks out back(9 leaves). Out front they have 6 in C channel welded to the A arms with an after market rack and pinion...
