took it out for a drive, and was rewarded with a 1-2 shift at 5500 that kicked the truck sideways, and a 2-3 shift at 5500 that broke both tires loose!!

I'm hoping mine acts like this when I drop the clutch on it :myclone: ... I have to replace that pesky spider injector first though and fix the PS system

Sounds like a killer truck... Glad to hear that you got it running the way it should.
I gotta ask though... what the hell you got in it that breaks the tires loose on the 2-3 shift? I have never seen or heard of any GT that would do this. Mine is modded and running pretty damn good but could never get a tire to spin on the 2-3... pretty good bark on the 12 though. Was it raining out? You got 10speed tires on that thing? LOL

Anyway... Congrats!

Sounds like 3.73 gears, I did a engine swap on a 82 S-10. I installed a 1988 4.3 that had 44,000 miles on it 700r4 and a 3.73 gear rear end that had 12,000 miles on it. The truck would get 22.5 mpg on the hwy, go sideway on the 1-2 shift and really bark the tires on the 2-3 shift. Everyone at work use to say that I had a V-8 with a shift kit in the trans, until I opened the hood. Everything was stock including the trans. The only thing I did was to flip over the air-cleaner.:rotf: :rotf: Anyway on the hwy at 75mph it would show 3200 rpm's with a 245/60-15 tire.

I'd like to take first dibbs but don't want to hold anybody up. I honestly don't think it's worth $1K with no cladding and bad engine. I can not comit to anything until after NATS anyay so I'll keep it on the back burner and take my chances. Always wanted a Black GT but it's a little steep for the condition it's in. Look me up after NATS if you want to negotiate.
