With the tires and wheels mounted, balanced and bolted on, the only thing left to do was to take it for a test drive.
What a difference! This truck rides and drives so nice. It floats over the bumps and you can turn the steering wheel with one figure. It has plenty over torque down low and is just over an idle at higher speeds in 5th gear. It's ready to be driven to the west coast...
The short throw shifter kit worked out great as well. With the longer, original looking handle, the shift pattern is still fairly close together and clears the seat and dash with plenty of room.. It shifts so nice and smooth.
