So I have a 1987 GMC V3500, 4 door long bed. It has a TBI 350/th400/205, 14 bolt rear and dana 60 front.
I am currently running stock suspension which is pretty darn sagged in the front, h2 wheels with 315/70/17's. I don't have a tach on it but it's pretty much wrapped out going 60 down the freeway.
I've considered a few things, interested on some input.
swap in a 700r4 to give me an overdrive. I know I would lose a ton of strength and simplicity, but they're a dime a dozen.
doing a small lift and hunting down some h1's with 37's on them.
maybe a combination of both? what would you do if it was yours? has anybody done anything similar?
