That's an awesome lookin' square body !! I love those trucks!!

Keep on .... Runnin' Loads !!

That truck... :baba:
Well jeez, I wasn't expecting such a reaction for the truck :laugh:. Thanks guys! It's an 82 with a 91 front clip. I drove it to michigan from california last summer, only has 109kmi on it. It's currently a 454/4spd, but I'm building a detroit 4-53t/eaton rto610 for it. Going to build a hydraulic dump flat bed for it, multilink air suspension, and do a mild restoration/slight modernization hopefully this fall with a fresh coat of silver. Going to convert to power windows/locks, tilt column, delay wipers, etc.



Upside down 4-53
 
Really cool truck ... buuut a 4 53 may sound cool ... but it will be sloooow IMO ... I know the 454 eats fuel, but leave it!!

Sweet rigs man!!!

Don't worry, the 4-53t won't be stock, but even stock they offered it up to 215hp/495lbft which is still more grunt than a 454. I'm doing a full electronic DDEC conversion with compound turbos and an external air bypass system. Should be about 500hp/1000-1200lbft.
 
With the new motor I’ve been building and modding and I’ll put a flatbed on with air bags I’ll be able to get a third row. Possibly gear down the rear end.this is the intake for it. Should lower the powerband since the intake is much longerView attachment 732367

Hmmm that carb looks sooo familar ... Holley 2245 ??
