    Tire for 15 x 8 Rally Wheel

    Trying to decide on a rear tire size for the old heap, and hoping someone had some suggestions or input. Its an 81 C10 with stock ride height. I plan on taking it to clunker weekend at the local strip a few times this summer just for fun, so the rubber I am looking for would not be full-time...

    About ready to move on to the next stage of my 81 C10 project by regearing the rear end. I am hoping to get some recommendations based on my setup and your personal experience. As I have mentioned before, the current setup is a mismatched mess. 600hp 372 (dyno sheet attached), TH350 w/2800...

    10 to 12 Bolt Swap

    Cruising Under Stall RPM- TH350

    Hello! First time poster. My basic question: does cruising under the torque converter stall RPM damage the transmission? I bought my 81 C10 about year ago for a home-project hauler and for a little fun. The price was right for a solid, but ragged looking, C10 with a freshly rebulit engine and...
