I took this picture at a little bit of a angle but you can see the difference of the tires the one on the truck are 1100xr16 the one in the center is swamper 36x12.50R16 and the outer one is 9.00X16 On the truck now is the swampers that are a little taller than the 900s it is a 1968 WM300 with 251 and 4.89 gears. And no problem going 60 even 65 and higher if I wanted to push it and it will keep up with traffic fine and pulls the hills in high gear I drove it to the mopar show in Albion Pa that has some steep hills on RT 6 and nobody passed me. I dont know if anything was done with the engine.When I got it there was a GM high output distributor and a carter electric fuel pump. The original parts came with truck and the wiring was not hacked so I put the original distributor back in and original type fuel pump to bring it back to stock. Im happy with the power it has
