SHorty Tonka truck
« on: January 27, 2009, 08:07:20 pm »
This truck belongs to a good freind of mine. It has 49 inch tires, dana 60 front,dana70 rear, 5:13 gears, and a bgblock. I am trying to get him and his son to join up (son owns the other extended cab) so hopefully he will and give better details. Its on a blazer chassis with a custom bed.






These things are massive

LOL, its supposed to be mid 50s tomorrow. Bad thing here is 26 degrees is cold, but the wind always blows about 10-20 mph. That makes it worse.

yes, I believe he is going with the hdyro assist on it. This guy doesnt halfway enything. Everything he has built is overkill. And not in a bad way, he likes quality and is good at what he does.
