Can someone point me to threads on 350 vs 400 cid

Use those photos of what not to do lol. The brakes are okay for what it is but without trailer brakes I wouldn't have even started. Those were all close to home hauls. Using the factory cooler in the radiator but it has a TH350 instead of that junky 700r4 of the same years. I have more trouble from the rear axle. It has been replaced twice and instead of just getting better gears we fix this one repeatedly... not my idea. Dad knows best! haha

With the loads you show in those pics a 14 bolt would be a much better option.

Yeah, it's got an easier life now since I picked up a Sierra with the D-Max. Last I heard from Dad he wanted to rob the 400 out to put in a Camaro but I am not holding my breath. He hasn't seen the Camaro in a year.

They can be fun in sports cars but you have to really pay attention to the cooling system.

I've seen too many problems with half ton rear axles in the last 15 +yrs, mainly starting with the obs '88 & up. Don't even have to be working the truck to have a problem. I've had to keep one ton trucks to do my work and they just don't have axle problems !
