New paint, new tires, new rims, etc. I sped up to get beside him to admire it. Keep in mind those early 80's trucks had negative arch front springs factory. Well, this guy was riding high and proud on stacked lift blocks front and rear to clear those 44"s. It was freaking insane! We paced it on the side to look at the hack-job and those incredibly stupid looking U-bolts that ran up the side of all those stacked lift blocks.

After a quick size-it-up, I hit the gas to put that death trap behind up. I've always wondered how far that POS made it.

Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should.
Nobody said it...

I was tempted to get 100 yds or so in front of the idiot and stab the brakes and then stab the gas.

It was just a thought that bubbled up at the moment.

You can call me all sorts of names for even thinking of it. But US 231 heads to the beach and I've got a grand that says that truck came off those blocks long before he headed North for home.
