Well if you are wanting to go the T56 route I have one ready to go. Or anyone that wants to for that matter. It's out of a '02 WS6. Sound as can be. Steel fork, brass pads, brand new slave cylinder, and new reverse syncro. Shifter has been moved to the second gear inspection plate. This will make for an easier installation due to the fact that it is less than 2 inches from the factory set up. also have a Spec stage one clutch that has less than 1000 miles on it. If any one is interested feel free to shoot me a message.

Hey guys, got a question for ya...

When i had my 3.73 gears in my rst i could get up to about 125mph before my truck started vibrating like mad underneath me (which im assuming was due to the stock driveshaft?)... Now with my 4.10's i can barly get over 110mph before i feel like me fricken tranny is gonna come right through the floor lol. If it is the driveshaft like im thinking, anyone know where i can find myself a good aftermarket replacement?

Get one built by a local driveline shop. That's what I did.

Foose Regency RST Speedline truck wheels. 6x5.5 lug
Those ARE NOT!!! mine. But regardless. looking to maybe pick up a RST and figured if give this thread a look over.

These come with just regular truck 10 bolt rearends? anything special with the rear disc brakes?
