New from Missouri and in runnin on propane
« on: December 06, 2008, 02:51:02 am »
Im from Gerald Missouri, and in Feb, i will aquire for a whopping $1000 a piece of my childhood. A red 77 Custom Deluxe, 350 4 spd, 4 wheel drive propane powered flatbed.  My dad went through this truck about 10 years ago and he put another rust free cab on, but in high school i caused a few dents and dings on the passenger side.  The intake gasket enjoys having a good leak, but i hope to adress that soon, and we need a leaf spring hanger. Oh yea also in high school i fried the posi ( not my fault the drive shaft bolt came loose and me not knowing better tried to put stuff together to get it home. oops) so i need a posi in place of my limited slip.  i will have some pictures to come later, thanks

Sorry I havnt responded to any of this. I now know that posi is limited slip, but there is still some type of difference correct? posi makes both turn when one slips?

propane, costs around 500+ for the conversion, and then whatever the propane provider charges (muahaha 1.10 a gallon)

Nope.  Two names for the same thing.

Depending on if the limited slip (Positraction is what GM called it) was factory, you can rebuild them.
