79 ford supercab with factory air, cruise, PB, split window, toolbox, tinted windshield upgraded, yanked the 460, upgraded to DOVE block bored .080 over/stroked to a 557ci, kept iron heads, ported and bumped out to 2.21/1.9, forged crank/rods/custom pistons with a goal of 9.5:1 so pump gas would be ok, 950 dbl pumper with a mild cam so I could still drive it on the street, pretty much everything replaced from steel fuel lines/pumps to gauges, new trans, D44 in front to D60, all new driveline shafts F450, cut and balanced (with loops if they grenade) electronic header dumps for fun when I want to show off the 700ftlb torque. Last to come is paint

sorry not a truck or bike, but here's the 48' chevy my brother and i picked up from my cousin after our uncle passed away. it sat in a garage for over 15yrs before we pulled it out and took it home. right now we (he) is figuring up how much time and money it's gonna take for a frame off resto. it's all original (6volt system even, my uncle was a purist) except for a respray my uncle had done. it had a couple bubbles in the paint on the trunk lid. just respraying the trunk stood out just enough, so he did the whole car. hopefully the projected resto will be within our budget or atleast close to it.

Platikosmd,that it is one nice truck!What was the HP on the dyno?With those heavier driveshafts are you going to try pulling it?You never mentioned what it has for trans.What does it get for gas mileage,just jokeing.

[plastikosmd]

C6, stall around 1200 ish or so. not pulling, daily driver in the summer. hp was 600, tq 700. Tq may have been a bit more as dyno was slipping to hold it back on the low end. It is a stump puller. Add a cam, bigger carb and alum. heads and that would add more hp, but I dont need 900+ hp at 6k rpm, would rather have the 700 ftlbs at 3300, makes for an exciting ride. lights up the 35" like they are not even there and will break them free on the highway, that gets some looks.

[plastikosmd]

thx, maybe paint in the fall, love the green but it has some age to it, will prob keep that color but add white or cream (2 tone) between the chrome strips down the sides/tailgate
