Re: 1985 4X4 single cab dually...
I drove a '70 C/30 with 11' service body with a 350/TH400/4.10s and it did all I needed it to do. 350 did just fine with the side bins full of tools, bed loaded with vinyl siding above the top of the bed, generator, and ladders/pump jack poles/walkboards filling the 15' pipe rack. So, I speak from experience when I say that truck would do just fine with the highly respected and reliable 350 without creeper rear gears. That's a really nice truck and I'm used to changing a few things on trucks to suit me. I think the 8" lift is too much. But that's no big deal for use 4wd guys, right?
