a buddy of mine had a 69 pickup on 38's, he had a lot of lift, probably around the same height as that one, and also had blocks in the rear. the truck had a 350 and a 4speed, he could do burnouts on the cement and you could watch the rear separating from the blocks from the spring wrapping up. we wheeled the **** out of it and didnt have any problems, but i would still reccomend changing it. he also couldnt find a locker for the eaton. i would save the $ and effort and stick with the 350.

cool truck good luck with it.

Yeah, I have the same registration on my camaro. They didn't check anything other than the odometer (I had no working signal lights or brake lights!) and I had my regular insurance (non-collector). I passed with no problems. The only requirements are that you stay under 3000 miles a year and you need to keep the printout they give you with your mileage on it as proof for the next time time renew the registration. No use restrictions are placed on it by the DMV (the collector insurance agencies require that you keep it in a garage, have a separate daily driver and only drive it to shows and for pleasure on the weekends) other than the mileage. I also checked with the insurance I have for my other cars and they will insure a collector vehicle, no problem. Granted, they won't give me what I would get from a place like Hagerty, but I have all the driving freedom I want (as long as I disconnect the speedo ) for only a few bucks more a year.

The truck is gonna be lowered significantly before I take it out. The body lift is coming out first and foremost, then the lift blocks. The 44's are going down to 38's for a total drop of 10" from where it's at now. The front gears are going in with maybe an air locker, some miscellaneous body work and some bull bars and winches front and back. That's all I really want for it for now. Also, I haven't found much info about that Eaton rear end. If I can't find any good stuff for it, I might have to swap it out for a 14-bolt.
