my 70 build thread (pics)

If you go with the 38" tires you're going to want 4.89 gears, maybe even 5.13s. You'll be lugging around with 4.56s.

C'mon son....you better than that:hysterical:. That 1st gear in a 435 makes up for any lack of gearing. I drove mine all over town and the rock and mud. Wasn't perfect for great highway speeds, but 60mph aint that bad. would have done more, but I didnt push it at all.


you'll be fine Mania:xyxthumbs:

I was thinking that the 435 would make up the difference but wasn't going to say b/c I wasn't positive.

Hello? Is this thing working? I don't think it's working. I don't see any pics yet. Is it just me?
I mean really you put together a tube buggy in like 6 weeks for RITS 2 years ago and now this thread is a month old and 2 pics? What's up with that?

Pull it out and wash off the floor mats or something.

i went out early this morning and started working on my 70. i had my brother and a good buddy come over and help me out along with a cook out and some cold drinks.
we pulled the top off and put in a new 2" body lift with body bushings from wild horses.
