I'm Building a new 408 Solid Roller Motor that will hopefully put in

The rockstars are already looking dated, and trendy, maybe the dub group will help keep them alive.

the Jesse James are a much more time-less design, and the same design that Jesse is running on his Trophy Truck 54.

Remember how a tweed interior and graphics make a car look like the eighties, keep that in mind about fads and trends...

^^^Hey, I opted for the Kumho Mud Ventures in a 38x15.50r20 on my F*^% F250 and saved a chunk and got over 50K miles out of them before I sold the truck. They do a 37 in Kuhmo too. Just an FYI ;)

Been a lurker here for a long time. Getting excited about doing a 5.3 swap on my '87.

It is a very stock (other than being lowered) '87 swb 2wd TBI 305 silverado. I have had it since 2000 and it's been in the family a LONG time. The 305 is starting to get a little weak (like it was ever a power house :) ). I have lowered it 5/6 with spindles, springs, and flip kit. I think she looks pretty good!

Here are a couple of pics.

That's cool that you know about spudnuts! That place hasn't been open for years! My brother worked there when we were in hign school. I still get back that way a couple of time a year. When we came through the weekend of the 4th of July there was a nice '66 short fleet on the side of 84 in Littlefield.

sorry about the messy windshield

I think when people see trucks like this sitting around places that you havent seen on this website they need to run over and slide a paper somewhere with the website so they can all come and join us :)

Here is my new truck: Red Rocker. Built by Hills Hot Rods for Travis Noack of Streettrucks (Truckin at the time). Travis had sold the truck, and I just picked it up from the guy he sold it to.
