I"d be able to drive a monster like that without an upgrade in the driver's license. Amazing.

Should it be named Bonzer for its size?
Or
Ocker or Yobbo for its ride, or a combination of all?

Late afternoon today, I witnessed the Bonzer truck, in the wild:

Even caught a slight bit of video:

Pictures do not do that thing justice... It is so much more ridiculous, and awesome, in person.

When I stood in front of it, the damn bulldog on the hood was at eye-level!!!

This truck also needs a final drive more appropriate for my usage, 6.14 and 8.57 are not what I need. The gas consumption might be described as prodigious.

We found the numbers on the rear and it is a Rockwell.

Seeking something around 3.5ish

I dropped the beast at Best One in Lima to get the springs reset and shocks checked, the goal is to ride like an F350, rather than a log truck.

Thanks to ChandlerGTI for the lead.

Anybody know of a source of gearsets for this, currently runs at 65mph at 3800 rpm with the 6.14 high range.

How about mechanical injection? If you're gonna suck gas, might as well do it polished stacks right?

I used to work for Rockwell, I can dig up any maintanence manual for any rear end you want. Hell I may be able to find a chart that shows you what ratios were available for that axle, if you can find an axle model number.

EX:

RS20145

translates to: Rockwell, single, 20klb cap, 145 series housing

also this makes my burban look like a smart car!! I love it!
