Yo! FRANKENTRUCK evolved because of the available parts,...but no theme. A '73 donor flatbed with the NP205, a VERY heavy duty (5560lb rated) full-floating rear axle, and a Dana 44 front with Warn locking hubs. The FRANKENTRUCK was supposed to be a cab for the flatbed, but is in FAR better shape, so it became the build! It came from four years in a cow pasture near the border with Wyoming (20+ miles north of my place). It contributed the TH400:
All else new and rebuilt, including a 325hp 350 I built, and a machined, twin-stick NP205. Bodywork and paint is left to do (obviously!).
Lots of parts from different sources,...my wife dubbed it "FRANKENTRUCK".
Origonal color?
Medium green metallic. I'll duplicate it.
Theme: responsive, good gas mileage, heavy duty,...FRANKENTRUCK.
A success!
Todd.
