I thought I start this thread as a re-due on a build a friend of mine traded for yesterday.
He really likes the truck but, doesn't like the gasser look.
He's a blower guy so the huffer is what caught his eye too.
As I don't know the builder of this ride we'll experience the good and the bad of it together, as I go.
What I do know.
35 Dodge pickup. fires up but, never driven
Fresh built standard bore 8.5 to 1 compression 454, 671 B&M huffer
320 aluminum heads
Carbs Holley ?????????? Don't know what size or if they are even setup for a blower yet.
Comp 268H nitrous grind cam
Fresh built 400 turbo
9" Ford fresh built traction lock 3.08 gears
Brakes GM disc front Ford drum rear
Suicide doors with mini bear claw latches
Top chopped 3" really good job too
Cab channeled 9" so you know what that means
Digital gauge package
Speedway dropped tube axle with hairpins
Vega cross steer box
Coil springs in the rear with hairpin control arms
Frame, home built 2x3x14" wall straight back to a medium kickup behind cab
Gm tilt column
Here's where we're starting
First thing on the agenda
Lower the frontend as much as I can with the existing parts.
Un-channel the cab 6"
Line up the bed to cab
After this we will see how much more he wants to do.
