Trailered with the hd to a few mud bogs, this was yankee lake in ohio, No crazy pics or anything. This was before my hd had the supercharger or the 4 link and coilovers.

Awesome! I love everything about it. Purpose built and actually used for what you built it for.

Is this how it actually sits today? How'd the dual carbs work out?

This truck went thru the stages over the years, you can see both trucks did. Not sure when but i would like to redo this one but with a little something different. I was thinking something like a turbo 5.3/6.0 mud/street truck. This has plenty of room under the hood. I would need a turbo that would spool up fast and will work with the turbo 400 trans i have in storage. Both axles have detroit lockers and 456 gears so that part should be fine. I would like it to be different but at least 600hp or more.

Its the same today, it just sits in my back yard under a cover. Covered in snow right now. Paints faded and the battery is in the house..lol. I have had no interest in it the past 2 years, it needs to be revived.
