Re: I found OLD pic of myself hauling in a 4x4
exactly, whatever works!
i wish i had a pic, but back in about 1994 or 95 you should have seen the looks i got in my 84 s-10 shortbox pulling an 16ft flatbed trailer with my 88 chevy 4x4 on it going down the interstate passing cars the whole way.
originally i had the s-10 on the trailer and the 4x4 towing it, dropped the trans out of the 4x4 right as we got to where we were going. got done drag racing the s-10 for the day(my birthday present to myself) and loaded the 4x4 on the trailer, hooked the s-10 to the front and headed it home...
i may have forgotten to mention that it was running a 383 stroker... which at last dyno was putting out 437 horse/459 torque(if my memory serves). at the time i built that thing, i saw one V8 s-10 in hotrod. otherwise they basically didnt exist yet. so we had to build EVERYTHING to get that in there. with a turbo trans and 4:11 gears. that thing was ridiculous. but it did pretzel a few drive shafts and snap a few transmission housings. it was a great sleeper. robin egg blue/white bottom, and fully mufflered.
it could still break the tires loose with that trailer on it. luckily i didnt have to make any sudden stops or direction changes, because it simply would not have happened!
the good old days!
