I'll throw my .02 cents in. I'm in Texas and all that smog $hit is off both my squares. They don't care about that stuff. 7.50 for a SAFETY inspection. Get it off there imo. All those vacuum hoses and $hit drive me crazy. I have a quadrajet on my 454 with a 700r4 behind it. Took the air filter off so you could see I don't have 870 vacuum hoses everywhere for that other bs. Lol
See how much less clutter is there? I got a vacuum hose for the vacume advance on distributor, one for transmission and one for pvc valve. And one for brake booster. Not 870 different ones.
Also have a 3.73 gm Trutrac 8.5 10 bolt posi rear end.

Been a nice rear end. I broke the spider gears in the old 2.73 ratio stock one.
I know the 454 has more power but, if you switch out the rear end and if you do have a 700r4 with the low first gear I don't think you'll have a problem towing.
Now I do have a 84 long bed. I mean 84/85. It's like 220/221 whatever it takes....
Just kidding but it does have a 305 in it with ab th350 on it. Probably 2.73 rear end. But look no 89 vacuum hoses and smog bs either. Lol
And this one has ac.
When I first put that rear end in the 82square, the th350 would rev to high in third gear. So that's why I put a 700r4 in for od. Now it's a great gear ratio between it and the 700r4. Great hole shot and od. Works in my book.
Good looking truck too and welcome from a fellow Texan. If you're in Houston you ain't too far from me at all. Maybe we could check each other's trucks out sometime.
