I want to focus my main efforts on a home I'm trying to get built for my retirement. It is where I will eventually keep my truck.

EDIT:dingo, I misspoke, the local guy has a C10 with a 292, not a C20.


Mine gets rotated into driving duty a few times a week (When it's running, right now it's in project-mode) or month, depending on when I decide to drive it. It needs to be reliable. It will have the Ranger OD, SM420 and 3.54 Dana 60 for a cruising rpm of 1800-2100 @ 65-75mph.
