Re: For the stepside lovers..

Are you talking about the truck? Or the literature? Either way, it's great.

Re: For the stepside lovers..

Steve...both. The truck is sweet, the tech info pertaining to our trucks is OK...but I just liked the idea and the fact that there was such a thing out there.

Re: For the stepside lovers..

Nice truck, but something just does not compute.

From the specs the engine is 425hp with 500lb-ft torque and the weight is 4045lbs (I assume without a driver). But it says it takes 15.8 seconds to run the 1/4 mile???? That's complete BS. At least I sure hope so... cause my 454HO has the same specs and it damn sure better run faster than that!!!! That truck should be in the 13's.... EASY. What do they have for rear gears on that truck... 2.56 with an open diff maybe?? I just don't get it.

Re: For the stepside lovers..

What are we looking at? Is it a magazine article or something? It appears to be specific to one person's truck rather than being an overview of the model/year.

Yes, I'm a little confused. What's new...

Re: For the stepside lovers..

Nice find. I remember when they mailed out samples of those pamphlets. You could buy a whole binder full of those with diffrent types of vehicles. I still have the Viper and Syclone ones they send to me.
