Willys pickup - axle ratio
Looking at restoring a 60's Willys pickup. In the original state they go pretty slow and it's safe to assume fuel economy is poor.
Anyone have any experience putting a newer engine in and maybe changing axle ratios to gain some speed and economy? Not sure if the original trans is worth keeping either? They make a kit to add a 25% overdrive, it is easy to install and works good from what I read but it costs like a grand or so.
Just trying to make an old truck be a modern cruiser!
