New Guy Here, Project Triple Nickel

[B Barber]

Hey guys. Some of you may recognize me or my truck. I am new here, but definitely not new to these trucks or forums in general. My name is Brian Barber, and I am the vice president of ASA (American Squarebody Association). I currently have a 1982 GMC Sierra that is juuuuust about done. There is a pretty lengthy story on how it got to this point, but I will skip all that for now and just tell you how it sits today.....

It's powered by a 555 BBC with a little over 700 HP and over 725 ft/lbs of torque on pump gas. It's backed by a fully (and I mean fully) built 700R4 with billet housing and all billet internals, 6 pinion front planetary, 5 pinion rear, billet shafts, 9 clutch input drum, .555 boost valve, full manual valve body, and PATC billet 3200 stall, and is built to withstand 1000HP. It has a 3.5" custom built drive shaft with Strange ends, and that mates up to a cross braced Fab9 rear housing with 35 spline axles, 4.11 gears, and Wilwood disc brakes. It has a 8/10 point chromoly 8.5 second cert roll cage. C&R Racing 4 core aluminum radiator with dual 14" Spal high output fans and Dakota Digital fan relay. The paint and interior are all new with custom seat, door panels, and other mods. It sits on 18x8 American Racing Hopsters up front, and custom 20x15's out back wrapped in 31x18x20 Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R's. The front suspension rests on drop springs, drop spindles, Strange single adjustable drag shocks, and sectioned lower control arms. The rear rests on a custom 4-link with anti-roll bar and dual adjustable Strange coilovers. A wheelie bar sticks out the back to keep the front end in check and to let the guy in the mustang know that he better pick someone else to play with. There are several other mods, but I have wasted enough of you time for now. If you would like to know anything else, please just ask!
