I like those pics. What have you got planned for it?

thanks! Guam was where the pic of the 75 where taken..

plans LBZ/4l85 with 241/241 doubler.. AC and be able to be a competent off road vehicle, tow 12-15k via GN/5th wheel setup. be able to comfortably cruise at 70-75 all day( cross country road trips) 35" tires 4.10 and the .75 OD of the 4l85 will put ~2000rpm which +/- 100rpm of where the 01-05 dmax trucks run at that speed in stock setup.

possible up grade rear axle from 10.5 14b to a 1150 AAM and get disc all around... there are rear disc conversion out there... they use the D44 rotor and caliper and adapter brackets.. not bad for little to no towing setups... they are dwarfed by the OEM D60 13" disc setup not too mention the disc brakes that come on the 01-10 2500hd/3500 trucks

currently sits on open D60 and spooled 10.5 14B. 4.10 f/r
52/64 spring netting about ~4" of lift and ~12" of vertical wheel travel 315/70/17, hydro boost
current engine is a 468BBC /400/203 with a woods 18" travel front drive shaft
cross over steering
engine/tranny/ tcase is pulled to to stiffen the frame..run new brake/fuel lines
fix cab/body holes..
frame twist axially due to the x-over steering, i dont really want to box the frame..
looking at makeing a removable panhard bar for DD/highway use

drove the 75 out to CA from ohio with a 350/350/203.. found out the hard way that some put a miss match rear driveshaft.. broke the tranny tail housing.. flat towed (t-case in netural and tranny in park) it back whole thing weighed ~18,000lb 10k of that was the 02.
285/75/16 on the 75 and 315/75/16 on the 02
