About my Truck

This truck was purchased out of a collapsed chicken barn in Ky. the roof was caved in and was in pretty sad shape. I have owned this truck for 18 yrs.

Powered by a 383 stroker and a 400 turbo tranny coupled to a 9" ford rearend with ladder bars and coil overs. The truck has a 79 Camaro sub frame with disc brakes all around. I had stripped the truck down to the bare frame at the time I was going through a divorce, so the truck was not claimed in the divorce, so I got to keep it.

After letting it sit for about 8 yrs. I started focusing on it again and have completed it to this point. Paint is 2008 Chevy Tahoe Dark Metallic Blue, Ghost flames in silver and purple, Corvette taillights in the rear roll pan, V-butt windshield, shaved handles with door poppers, PW, PB, AC, cruise, Alpine 500 Watt stereo, Crager Drag stars with Mickey Thompson 15" x 15" meats. Interior is scheduled for Jan. 2009. I will update pictures after interior is finished.

Nice truck, but that body style is my favorite. I've had several, My last was a Pro Street 54, My current 52 Suburban and a 49 COE that I have made into a crew cab.
