It's going to be awesome! GM should have used TPI in the trucks to begin with.

Thank you sir, reason for that is it's not a square.

I think you have earned the right to put it in the Under Construction section.

Looks like a factory install from here. What rear gears are in the truck?

3.08 open. Considering that many 350 F bodies had 2.73s...But I will change it at some point, probably when I do rear discs.
Up close you can see that it's not factory, but close enough. It's not a hack job like the 1995 K1500 Viktor got recently.

Looks nice, that 1995 was a hacked install for sure, but I undid all of it. I wish I kept the tbi unit to throw back on it.
The first gear in a 700r4 does not need anything taller than a 3.23 or 3.42 in the back. My 85 with cheaper tires would spin 1st through 2nd with 3.08 with any moderate throttle after 700r4 swap. And a lighter 89 trans am would do same with 2.73's in the back.

I'm hoping for Twin Peaks Round Rock a week from next Wednesday. But we will see. I still have to work on the fuel lines and finish the starter.
