Bigdav160 & SweetK30 – thanks for the info, I had no idea what I had and would have taken forever to figure it out.
HO55 – The truck is in eastern Oregon just over the Idaho border. I’ll take your advice and tailgate a Prius to check my speed. Should have no problem reading their speedo from 3 feet away.
El dorado Jim – Sorry bro, not for sale.
Jeffahart – not sure about the fan, but that’s a good point.
Special-K - I’m not wanting to race imports on the freeway or anything, but I’d like to be able to drive a consistent 70MPH. I’m really thinking the 700r4 may be the way to go.
Richard – Good idea, I’ll give that a try. AndyH1956 are you saying I need to spin both wheels?
Bilt4me – Good eye, I’ll definitely shore that up before I drive cross-country.
You guys are all a wealth of knowledge! I really appreciate you advice with this. If any of you live in the DC area and want get your hands dirty on it, I’m sure I could use the help there too.
I’m gonna lift it, go with a bigger tire and wheel and I’m really thinking about a tranny swap. I know some of you are against that, but… it is what it is, and it is mine. Building something cool is a much fun than driving it.
