« on: March 12, 2009, 01:49:29 pm »
Choptop told me to post some stuff on my truck well here goes. I did not do the mods on this truck . I seen it on ebay A while back and liked it. I contacted the guy, and to make A long story short we ended up trading vehicles.I had A 68 camaro I traded him for the pickup.The owner was from Badger iowa him and his friend did all the custom mods on it . He got it from original owner whowas A truck driver from texas.The mods were done by A place called dillons speed shop and the previous owner out of barnum IA.As you look at it you can see A ton of mods done the front bumper the bolt holes were welded solid and bumper moved back closer to body ,side marker lights removed and were filled.,custom made grill.cowl hood,drip rails removed and smoothed,mirrors and door handles removed ,stake pockets filled , Small window replaced with real glass,hand made tanue cover;tail gate custom made moving latch to inside , role pan added rather than rear bumper,.hidden trailer hitch behind license plate. Interior custom done with hand made center console made of fiberglass.Paint done in viper yellow with several different colors added to clear coat all graphics done in Dupont chromillusion.changes color at different angles,wheels are (boyd smooothies) 20x10 front 20x12 rear , motor is A GM crate 375HP march pulley system added trans. replaced with turbo 350 with mild stall(3000) . I’am sure I missed some stuff . I have changed A few things on running gear rear end gear ratio the 4:11 was killing me in gas last summer. Changed carb.from holly to edlebrock .
