They wheel pretty nice I have good luck with them the big draw back is the short radius arms limits the flex and courses extra wear when wheeling what motor trans are you thinking the 86s with a 351 h.o and c6 are a tuff unit

Probley my favourite motor a good cam intake and headers will wake it up. The weekest spot in the 73-79 I'd have to say is then spider hears in the front but there the same.as any d44 lifts are cheep for them good solid wheeling trucks

The d44 that's in the f150 and 250 are the same besides the 8 lug outers most those trucks came with a np205 I'd just use that
