Cool setup. This trucks getting better & better, but I gotta ask... a 3.00 gear with that 8 speed automatic and 28-1/2’ish tire seems a bit high. My calculations puts that beast at 87 mph in 8th turning 2000 rpm?

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
 

Truck is beautiful. Good job.

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
 

It’s about managing low gear. First gear is a 4.56 ratio, it’s really tough to leave a stop sign/light without giving it too much juice, the 3.00 will calm that down. Our ZL1 has a 2.77 read gear.

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
 

^^^ Gotcha! I knew it had a crazy 1st gear.

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
 

Man this truck just keeps getting better, awesome job guys.

Great looking truck. So cool this site was a big part of its origin.

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
 

Nice truck, I love how it sounds, I might have to try the QA1 suspension looks very trick.

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
 

Nice, Hopefully we'll get to see it at CTC

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
 

Looks great Buck. I'm building a 67 short fleet now. 6.0 / 4l80. I'll be doing a similar color combo on it. Your truck is definitely inspiring.

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
 

Looking good!!

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)

Is the boy at Vandi? My youngest daughter is in Grad school there.

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
 

No, he's at Nashville Auto Diesel aka Lincoln Tech.

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
 

This truck build was one of the reasons I joined the sight, watching the early days of the build inspired me . Good bunch of guys here.:metal:
You have taken it a step further and it's looking really good

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
 

The new 9" looks really nice as do the tubs!

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)

Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)
