Never been off road with it yet. Traded a motorcycle for it and have been fixing stuff on it. Redid the motor, it was a stock motor when i got it. Change it over to the holly carb, new intake, change the running accesories, body is just about perfect, custom fenders so it would clear 44's the guy owes the shop that makes these fenders. Going to get some long tube headers and thrush welded mufflers put on next week or the week after. Then it will be a nice street truck lol. If i keep it i will be putting a 14 bolt in the back and running 4.56 gears front and back, or i will sell it lol.

nice but you dressed up the engine and left the manifolds on, why not put some headers on?

Needs wider and larger wheels to get rid of the balloon effect, and to be a true street pimper.

Long tube headers are being bought friday, then getting thrush welded mufflers and running the pipes out the each side infront of the tires. I like lots of tire. Need to get some rims there are silver or machined aluminum and i will be done lol.

those fenders look sweet! Where can I get a set of those pre-trimmed fenders? does the guy that made yours, make for other people? I've tried to trim fenders on several 73-87 4x4's and mine always turn out crappy. i'm not a body guy. (73-80 fenders, old school round headlights)

It is a guy in virginia that cuts are re-welds the fenders to have the factory flare to them. It is a place called squiddys body shop, he was making a set for another truck he was building.


44's on the back 31s up front


31's all around.
