These are the plans for my truck. It will mainly be for desert fun and the truck pulls.
79 chevy shortbox
388 w/ speed density TPI
t350 to 203 (debating 400 to 241)
gm d60 front 4.88's detroit 3/4 ton disc brakes
dodge d60 hd 4.88's spool 3/4 ton disc brakes
56" progressive rate alcan springs front ( 7-8" total lift)
ORD shackle flip w/ 3-4" lift 63" progressive rate alcan springs rear (7-8" total lift)
1 -2" Bodylift (for additional clearance and to allow clocking of the 241 if I do the t400 to 241)
8 point interior cage which will tie into a bed cage
Fox or Bilstein race shocks front and possibly rear 14 -20" travel (dont know yet)
37*14*16 IROKS
16*10 aluminum rims

Tell me what you guys think. Should it do the job. Still need front axle along with gears for both. Also still need shocks and springs.

dont think your gonna have any problems with that set up. As long as the tranny holds up then you will be fine.

that combo would even sweeter with a stick like the SM465 and not an auto, but thats my opinion.

I am not a big fan of sticks in trucks but appreciate the opinion none the less.
