Thanks for following along! I did enjoy driving it when it had the 4 speed even with the long throw between shifts. It's not much for performance, but my wife did smoke a Vette with it at Cruisin the Coast! She even chirped the tires in third.

I don't think so, it has a 6.55:1 1st gear, looks like 5000 RPM's will net 25 MPH.

I've never been so excited to be the background in a picture. A childhood dream of seeing my truck in print in a National magazine has been fulfilled!
