The 65's were better, and the 68s were much improved, but the 66 & 67 not so much. Might want yo look into that if your thinking a lot of power. Gene

I don't see a lot of power in the near future. It has a 275/60 on it now, I'm just not real pleased with the 7" wheel that it's on. Pretty much the only option for a real contact patch is moving the springs in and mini tubbing it. Which isn't ruled out just yet. But motor home 440 and rebuilt 727 looks like the way to go right now.
