Yo! FRANKENTRUCK is not finished, but damned if it isn't a fine '78 4x4 longbed workhorse. Just needs bodywork and paint now. 350 shortblock with World heads: 2.02/1.6 valves and 67cc combustion chambers,...Crane cam advanced 4 degrees, roller rockers, Weiand, Holley, shorty headers with Summit turbos and 2.5" pipe straight out the back. HEI with 6A MSD. TH400 (AAMCO custom rebuilt for me to include a long output shaft) with 1200-1500 stall speed converter, TH400/NP205 adapter, and an Off Road Design, machined, twin-stick NP205.
Chip Foose "Spank" 17" rims with 285x70x17 firestones:
1973 axles/springs from my old donor flatbed,...Dana 44 with Warn locking hubs up front, and a 5560 lb rated full floating rear. New bearings, seals, brakes rebuilt throughout.
Twin 20 gallon tanks,...regulated electric fuel pump backup to the mechanical.
New dash pad, upholstery, floor underlayment, insulation, and floormat:
It also has a 22W RMS x 4 Kenwood AM/FM/CD/iPod USB indash unit that I custom installed, and two pairs of 6.5" Kenwood 3-ways stacked in diagonal, cab-corner, speaker boxes.
Got it for free from a Wyoming cow pasture:
