    Yup, that too.

    I’ll take a set of Mccreary’s on 15” rims out back and some 4” wide tires up front over that setup any day.
    It sucks to get old

    Unfortunately, people with good taste like you have seem to be few and far between these days.

    Ok, now it's time to duck for incoming!

    Still lots of us fat bouncy rear tire loving folks out there, but most of us lack the Benjamins needed to express our old school tastes.

    Holy crap! It has the ultra rare anti gravity option installed too!!

    How do you beat that Barnster??!!


    OAN - There's a 50's/60's GMC 4x4 truck in town and it's been sitting awhile, but the body is solid and the steel sure isn't thin.

    Hoping I can grab it at some point....

    All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country

    I have a 53 chevy, I like Ford in a ford/mercury or in my case a Cadillac 472 in my chevy 210.
    I'm sure there would be a revolt if someone put a suzuki engine in a Honda 250r.
    Nice looking truck. I wouldn't change the drive train unless it was broken, it's a lot of work for a little gain.
    New drive shaft, trans mount, shifter linkage, motor mounts, radiator, hoses, power steering adaptors, wiring, just to name the obvious.

    ya im probally not going to mess with the drivetrain much unless it needs it, its a nice running/riding truck the way it is. about the only thing im going to do to it now is upgrade the wiring a bit, its kinda of a mess but works and i want to find the correct seat for it
