Re: My 1970 GMC resto-mod, 4 years of changes...

At some point, I wanted to swap from 6 bolt to 5 bolt...which also lead to finding out the rear gear set was 3.08:1.
I had ordered a 3.73 gearset as it would rev to the moon when I drove it home...and thinking it was 4.11's, the change to 3.73 gears would slow it down more along with the taller tires.
So new Moser axles were ordered for the 5 bolt pattern.
New Outlaw II wheels were bought just to have wheels with the correct bolt pattern, and were cheap, while still looking good.
Also bought the complete front crossmember off a 72 so I could have the disc brakes, and 5 bolt pattern...
Which lead to 3" lowered A-arms, and pulling out 3 leafs out of the back spring packs to drop the rear.
And added Cal-Tracs when I swapped the open carrier to a new Tru-Trac with 3:73 gears.
