Presently Calif, working on next "move"
« on: January 29, 2019, 02:10:09 AM »
New man here. I haven't got this truck yet but its in the bag though, 74 1/2 ton FS LWB V8 granny trans (don't like it) looking for an OD trans reason why these trucks suck gas without an OD setup.  I thought this place/forum is as good enough to start looking into getting info and maybe giving some back.
 I been retired for going on 3 years now, been fixing things up on my house to get it ready to sell  and get the heck out of dodge opps "Calif"no kids no dog/cat  thinking on a bird one that doesn't talk. I know its a short story but sometimes its better that way, LOL if you know what I mean. Mikie
