Post by: FinsnFur on February 20, 2008, 08:15:05 PM
Ever wonder what it would look like  :confused:


Look no further :yoyo:

Sorry.......I was moving everything out of the driveway so I could have someone come in and pull some snow out of it. I walk back towards the shop and looked back seeing the sun burn through the dual exhaust....and I had a moment. :eyebrow:

But I am sure the snow just has to suck

Jim,

Let it warm up, drive about 40 mph, slam on the breaks, and that snow will come right off the hood.   Especially since I know you have a good layer of wax on your truck.

 :confused: I thought you were in the truck. I guess thats not your punkin head above the steering wheel tho is it?? :shrug:

Maybe that's Calvin driving.  :doh2:

 :hahaha:  are you serious? 

needs a bowtie on the front to even be considered to have raw power. 

on the flip side I am a chevy man myself but have a soft spot in how the older fords like yours looks.  whatever happened with the classic looking truck?  I have a 1985 chevy that Is a work horse and now I drive a 93 chevy shortbed and love it.  even if it only gets 12 mpg.

HaMeR...what whine? Ever hear of Power Steering Fluid :laf:

Speaking of whine...you'd really hate this truck then. When I built it I put in Edelbrock timing gears instead of a timing chain. :biggrin: It whines like it's got a blower.

throw a set of boggers on and some cherry bombs and ya wouldn't need a stereo.  you would never be able to hear it anyhow.

one thing I have always wanted to do was drop a 350 small block between the frame of a s10.  a buddy of mine had a s10 blazer that was awesome.  you could hear it comin from a mile away.  it was all camed up with timing gears.  had dual flows runnin and that thing sounded like heaven.  man I can't wait for 410 sprint car season to come.  aint nothin better then hearin a 400 small block with 900 ponys flyin around the top of a oval.   :yoyo:  three more days.

I know the guys up north some where having problems because if a coyote heard a truck coming they would boogie because of the houndsman.

Nice ride Jimbo.  :yoyo:
Growin up we had a '77 two wheel drive with a 460 in it.  :eyebrow: I deflated several ego's with that thing. It would
beat a lot of the Camaro's and Trans Ams. Guys would hate it.  :laf: I would have to go down to the local Co-op station
fairly regularly and buy there used tires cause I kept burnin em off. Thought dad wouldn't notice and I was gettin away
with it, until I found out years later he knew.  :eyebrownod:  I also had a "77 with a 4" lift, 33x12.50R15's on it, not an
ounce of rust, new paint, perty sweet ride. I had the pleasure of rollin that one end over end, sidewase a few times one
winter evening.  :sad: 
Now I have an '01 Yukon, and a '93 Z71 ext cab 4x4. :biggrin:

geeeez, remind me to never borrow you my truck Scott :laf:

Bigben, it already does have boogers on it. 34" TSL Super Swampers to be exact. Dual Exhaust?.......that's just a gimme. :innocentwhistle:

I was gonna video it setting there idling. With Edelbrocks Performer Plus cam and the 2" high rise it lopes like a helicopter. Ya gotta love it...too bad it costs so much run it. I've had it for sale twice and chickened out before selling it.  :eyebrownod:
