Default Lots of miles on mine

  1. The original transmission gives me no grief at all, you get used to it.
  2. Taller tires! I run the 1050 X 16 .
  3. Fenton exhaust manifolds, wakes up the motor and no more exhaust gasket leaks.
  4. Check wheels for straightness with a dial indicator, use the best you have. Put a couple hundred miles on before balancing at a truck shop.
  5. Pertronix ignition for reliability with matching coil.
  6. Line the doghouse, the frame channels and the engine compartment with insulator/sound deadener. wouldn't hurt to do that to the underside of the floor to.
  7. Spring seat cushions and don't use just a foam block. I use the original seatsas I need all the legroom I can get and a set of van seats that were in it when i got it pushed me to far forward.
  8. Single wire alternator with 12 volts, led bulbs in the signal lights.
  9. Brakes have never been a problem for me but if you want power install a remote hydro vac if you can't procure an original set off of a C60L
