My Muscle Truck

[GASoline71]

Nah... I don't need any vacuum... this thing isn't going to haul nothin' but a$$...

It will be lowered this spring, and have some work done to the rear end...

This is not my wood hauler, or tow vehicle... this is a rat rod street poundin', loud, fast, rice burner eatin'... hot rod truck...

But thanks for the cam rec's anyways...

I only reinstalled the cruise contol for the "original" look...

Nice truck!! I have a Duramax that runs low 13's (HIGH 12's if I could stop the 4 wheel peels) Its fun to spank all the ricers and vetts in a 7600lb truck. Keep us posted on what she runs in the 1/4.

I dont know what kind of corvetts you have been running cause they are a h#ll of alot faster around here!!!



nce truck, i knew a guy that had an older 4x4 around that year with a factory 427!! A ranch hand rolled it over a bank on the driveway!!
And i bet you cant get that thing to hook for crap. have ya had slicks on it yet

love that sound from those headers.
i'm building a 72 chevy lwb for my daily driver, it's got the stock 350 and a newish turbo 350 tranny. its blown apart in the garage now, but when i took it apart, i couldnt get much traction at all. i put a blazer tank in behind the axle-bolts right in- and i'm doin a few other things to try to get a little more weight back there. that's good lookin truck though, i always liked the gmc grill better than the chevy grill... that's about the only thing different.

here are a few pics of my truck the day after i bought it.

don't you love the way the plug wires are routed?

A good amount of the vetts at the local test and tune are running significantly slower times then high 12's. My truck weighs more then twice the amount of a factory vette and will still out run a good amount of them.

Lookin good. Did you change the hubs on that from 6 lug?

 

[GASoline71]

Lookin good G,

TH350 that I rebuilt, and put a B&M shift kit in it...

Nope... the 1971 and 72's had 5 lug axels and hubs.
