Re: The Boss Hoss, 72 C/30, 454, DUALLY!

*Great video! About the intake horn, a local friend of mine makes intake horns, he had explained to me why his are better than others(unfortunately for you and me I forgot). Talk to him, he's a real nice guy and does it out of his garage and his work is perfect. Plus you may be able to use the hydroboost!

Good idea with the gussets for the leaf brackets. Maybe machine/plasma the Charger towing logo into em?

**About the gauges, these were posted on the forum a little while ago, a little pricey. (Half way down)

Also for the winch, I personally would use a 16.5, a little more expensive than the 12.5. Better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.

PS: I'm currently enrolled in welding class and am taking machining classes this summer.

I am going to use the hydraboost one way or another, it is about 6" shorter than the vaccum setup.

Hell no! this truck will never ever be a wrecker or be associated with the towing company, I sold my 85 and put the motor out of it back into one of my wreckers, I am not about to put another personal truck into the company!

This thing is going to pull projects, a welding machine, and a camper around!
