All normal practicality and rational money handling goes out of the window when it comes to my truck.

before the rebuild, i had a 350 bored .60 with ported stock casting heads and 2.02 valves, victor jr. intake and a 750 double pumper, 200 shot of nitrous, 3500-3800 TCI stall converter, 4.10 gears, and 26x10x15 M/T slicks, it went 7.39 in the 1/8th and 11.99 in the 1/4 mile. hopefully with the new setup it will go 6.?? in the 1/8 and then i have a 250 shot NOS fogger system i will turn on and will probably get kick off the track until i cage it ;D

If you get kicked off the track and have to park it you can send that stepside bed by way, I'll put it to good use.
Thats a killer truck you have, 11.99 is moving. Good luck with your new set up.
Keep us posted.

i have no idea on the weight, it was a full interior truck with nothing missing but the spare tire. i never got to weigh it, but i would like to know what these trucks weighted from the factory.
