What are toy 4 speeds like? Are they any good. As strong and reiliable as the 5 speeds? What is the first gear ratio vs 5 speed? I have a 4 speed, and am considering putting it in for the better gearing as I have no plans of driving the toy on the road anymore.
Second. I want to shorten my wheelbase. I plan on putting the chevys in, with likely a 2 or 3 inch block, depending on how much of a lift pack I can make for the front. I have 3" front lift springs, rear springs rearched to a 3" lift, as well as stock front and rear leaf packs. Any ideas for getting 5-6" lift? Anyway, for moving the rear axle forward, I don't want o have to lengthen or shorten the rear shaft, so with the chevys, a block and double shackles, how much can I move the axle forward while keeping stock rear shaft length? Anybody got an idea. I don't care about how to do this, I'm going to be welding new hangers anyway, so its no problem to move them farther than 11" forward.
I don't care much about street legal. I don't really intent to drive it on the street. I hope to find a flat deck trailer and simply tow it. I had more ideas/questons, but can't think of them
Heres the plan for the truck. The engine is currently overheated. I have another, in better shape, but needs some work. I have no time to rebuild, my buddy goes to BCIT and gets off at 2, he's volunteered to rebuild it (he's more experienced anyway). The chevys go in, lift block, double shackle (may scrap that if the hanger gets moved farther forward). Mess around with my leaf packs to make a decent lift pack. Take the box off, bob it at least a foot. Its staying on 33's, with 4.10's, but with the 4 speed. Spool rear, maybe front aswell, maybe welded instead of spool. Likely won't even run shocks. Um, theres more, can't remmeber it all. Its not supposed a crawler at all, just a good bush beater that go still go places.
