Traction problem
Hey guys, looking for ways to improve the traction on my '86 shortbed GMC pickup. Stock suspension, 400 rwhp, beefed up 350 transmission, probably 3.08:1 rear gear. I don't plan on racing this truck just would like to be able to accelerate away from a stop light without breaking loose the rear wheel. A posi unit is definitely in my future. If I move the leaf springs mounts to the bottom of the axel housings instead of the stock positions on top will this help transfer the weight?
Thanks for any information.PEACE, BUD
Thanks Glenn, it’s believed to be a Gen 5. 454. I’ll see if I can snap some pics of the stamped and cast numbers and post them here. Maybe we can define the year and model
