Rembrant Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Love these Idaho trucks. This old girl appears to be nice and straight looking. Has had a 5spd swap obviously...according to the CL it had a T19 in it. I'd imagine that a 5spd would work fairly well with 4:10 gears? https://www.ebay.com/itm/193398033661 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1986F150Six Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 O.D. [.71:1?] would make that ~2.90 = sweet cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 O.D. [.71:1?] would make that ~2.90 = sweet cruising! Yep, that combo of tranny and gearing is a good one. In fact, I briefly thought of changing Big Blue's rear gearing to that when I got the D60 geared that way. But I liked 1800 RPM better than 2100 RPM at 65, so stayed with the 3.55's. Nice truck. Love the colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
