I came across a truck that I've never known exsisted until today. I don't know how many of you guys have heard of, or have gotton the pleasure of seeing this truck, but I want it! For those of you who haven't I left a little picture of this 72' 3/4 Ton 1800 HP 700 CID Nitrous Injected BIG BLOCK! Man, I think I'm officially in love.

Forgot to add the fact that he ran a 6.99 ET. Not to bad if you ask me.

I think I have a new goal for my truck

Now how much is one of those engines??? Think it will get very good gas mileage?

Danny69' · 11-15-2002, 10:23 PM

I'm guessing it should get some pretty good gas milage. hehe... There is only one thing I can tell that needs to be added, it needs to be Street Legal!

MandarinSixSeven · 11-15-2002, 10:26 PM

It would probably get high gallons/mile

but i think what you're looking for is high miles/gallon LoL!

Probably about 10 years ago when I was about 8 or so I saw that truck here in Idaho out at Firebird. We don't get to many of them fast ones out here, but I got his autograph and everything. Wasn't in to these types of trucks until I got my first one when I was 14. Now my truck is on its way to being able to sit next to that one.

I bet for around a Hundred K, give or take, you could have one. Then just feed the machine!!!

On the back of the poster picture I have of it. It says its all fiberglass. So I would say there's 0 chevy metal left.
