TRAILERS? Well OK, just be there or be square!  Getting my alternator repaired today, then the speedometer cable, wire the tach, maybe fix the heater, hookup the electric radiator fan and remove the OE fan, to name a few, oh and I may bring the cat!

As long as you truckers won't make fun of us wagonneers (for crashing your truck party), I'm in! I do have a tailgate!

I saw Bob's Woodie several years ago while he was waiting for the wood man to complete those parts and I will testify that just  the motor/trans/rearend/ frame look as good as everything else does now! Beautiful! :)

Way better than the factory ever produced appearance wise at least.

Hope to see it completed in person at this upcoming BBQ. B)

BIG!!

Can't imagine 1100 cube @ 5000 rpm. 1050 ft/lbs of torque! 

Just something different.

Love to see one in person.

Used in Army Tanks.

l think the BBQ has a jinx on my truck. Been driving it a lot lately to be certain it is ready. Drove it to Kettleman City four weeks ago, 120 miles round trip, ran great. So just tidying things up and this morning the garage floor was WET. Leaky radiator. Removed it and took it to the radiator shop, scratch one, one-hundred dollar bill.
