Read my signature, one of the most pratical vehicles you can own. We deliver firewood and plow driveways with it and have no payments and just liability insurance.
So I messed up guys, I was looking at 2 trucks, the one above, and an '86 dump. This is the truck i looked at today. '86 GMC, converted to 6.2 diesel, 4spd w/granny low. This truck was beat! huge hole in floorboard, no front driveshaft, needed new t-case, and a shadetree mechanic hack job to the electric system, and the engine. so no go on this one.
heres the truck i want

I would stay away from the diesel & on either one find out what the rear end ratio is.So I messed up guys, I was looking at 2 trucks, the one above, and an '86 dump.

Yeah the 86 is out. The 84's top gear is third, my dad had a similar truck, same trans, its top speed was prob 55? Low gears in diff and trans. We'll see. What did they come withI would stay away from the diesel & on either one find out what the rear end ratio is.
60mph if you are lucky.
With a 4 speed manual a good ratio for highway use would be 3.73 for a 6.2. but you better expect a higher ratio in the 4x4sYeah the 86 is out.
