Cool ride man!

It's the tires. Skinny's up front, and some fat meats in the back.

 

I think with enough thought and beers you could make a trick setup for behind that grill. Maybe powder coat the cooler black, somehow give it a retro look??

Thing would be a beast with a little boost

 

Yeah I thought about that... but I have to also put a condensor behind it. I'm adding vintage air to the little truck to make it comfy to drive around in the TX heat.

Here is the 2 options I'm thinking of.

cammed 5.3L with very mild head work and a radix 112 at about 8psi

-OR-

Cammed 5.3L with a bit more head work and a EFI super Vic and the FAST 4150 stlye throttle body.

Either way the top end is going to cost me about 2500.00 so I'm leaning towards the blower.

 

Blower for sure man! wouldnt be a classic hot rod without one! Will look awesome when you get it all finished up, old school style with new school parts!

 

I love that truck, looks great just like it is!

 

A D1SC could make plenty of cool boost with just a big *** meth nozzle and no FMIC.

I think a big *** cammed, high compression setup would be fun, since that thing is so light all the tq from a radix would make for a smoke show but then again that could be fun combined with the scream of it
