The green and white is my last truck. I built it from the axles up. Sold it in 2001 on eBay.

Love everything on it except the mirrors.

awesome truck tomahawk30! very similar stance to mine. Hope that wet spot under the truck in the first pic isn't from your new rig!

Actually it was! Nothing a new thermostat housing didn't fix though...

4" lift with 35's... Had to do some wrenching when I brought it home, but its a lot better now. The previous owner had put a 350 flywheel on the 383. The driveline had a couple pretty good sides dents as well. The combination of the two issues made for some crazy loud vibrations going down the highway! Luckily it wasn't driven much at all after he did his "repairs". I got the new flywheel on and replaced the driveline with a nice straight one, replaced all the u-joints and fluids, and made sure everything was good and greased. Drives down the road pretty nice now except for all the gas that keeps disappearing at a startlingly rapid pace!

Love the truck Mud Man! Wish I had the skills to do the real flames myself. Always been a fan.

blackhawkip,
real nice truck! I noticed your winch bumper setup. What can you tell us about what you have there? Looks very interesting, and I'm considering some options to put a winch up front with my factory bumper like you did.

Thanks for the help.

The winch was installed by the dealer in 1972 when it was originally purchased new. It is a Hickey Enterprises Sidewinder II winch, part #113007. The mounting kit and bumper mount is also a Hickey, part number 223101.

Hope this helps.....

*72longbed* · 09-18-2012, 07:05 PM

Thanks blackhawk ... it helps a lot!

Now I should know better ... but I'm going to ask anyway ... do you think these parts are still available ANYWHERE?

I know ... stupid question, just thought I'd ask. lol!

It's a shame you would post this; if everybody drove your truck what would you drive? Not everyone wants 6 wheels....

71chevystep4x4 · 10-14-2012, 05:01 PM

Here's my 71, almost done with a 5.3L swap, just need pipes and rear driveline built. Had a 402 BB, stock 350 before that, and 292 straight 6 originally. Dad bought her brand new on special order for a huntin rig. And yes, he had it painted that rediculous color in 1988, she'll be going back to her original green.

CNEPACE · 10-15-2012, 02:41 PM

I'm new here (first post). Been into Mustangs for the last decade but recently traded my Mustang for this 69 GMC. It has a 454 in it, a 4" Suspension lift and a 4" body lift with 38" Michelin Military tires on it. I am looking to upgrade to a 6" Suspension lift and take 2" out of the body lift this winter. I already removed the 1980's rollbar, LOL. Anyhow, here are some pics.

**nitrosport_5** · 10-15-2012, 06:34 PM

Nice looking trucK's guys. Makes me Wish Mine was done being restored now.

Good looking truck. Needs a little updating, but sounds like you are already on that

POS1 · 11-26-2012, 11:54 PM

I'm progressing. New BFGs, tint windows, new lenses, new mirrors, new radiator, new flywheel/starter, wax (!), and a new grill and headlights.

Next up is steering, brakes, a better stereo setup, and 15x8 steelies.

mud.man.rj · 11-27-2012, 12:04 AM
