Project "Why are you doing this to that?"
 
Got the truck given to me a month ago, it's a 90 dually with a TBI 350 that's propane. Well I removed the propane system, and right around that time I lost my parking spot for with Jeep with a brand new 400 in it. So, like any normal person I pulled the 400 out sold the Jeep, and am in the process of putting it in the dually. Motor is bored .30 with some more technical stuff I don't remember pushing right around 425HP.

Sure looks cold up there. I might be going to ski at Kimberly spring break. Looks like good snow this year.

Keeping the flat deck and dump mechs. I still plan on using this truck like its a truck. It has the 15,000 rear springs and airbags up front so I need a motor that can match the weight it can handle.

Unbolted the Torque Converter today, there was only 3 bolts, is that normal? I always thought there'd be more.

Which wheels do y'all think I should go with? The look I'm going for it
an expensive ratty rod. Which leads me to the only aftermarket wheels I like for the duallys, the rockstars. Or, do I stick with painted stockers?
