Well, Ive been working on ths truck for a while now but i finally got it close to how i want it. Now I am working on motor, transmission, and rear end. It now has a 500hp 377 which i built 3 months ago. Rebuilding trans right now, and putting 4 links and tubbing it in the future. I just wondering what yall think. I have lots more pics but i dont have time to scan them right now.

If the pic doesnt work ill try to fix it.

That's sweet!

c10-377 · 12-07-2004, 01:45 PM

thanks alot, I have a lot of blood, sweat, tears, in this baby. Ill have post some before pics. lol it looked like the biggest POS anyone had ever seen. I guess i went a little overboard on the biggest POS ever seen but still it was in bad shape.

c10-377 · 12-07-2004, 01:54 PM

Heres before

toddtheodd · 12-07-2004, 01:55 PM

That's one hell of a before and after!

GreyHoundSteve · 12-07-2004, 02:41 PM

Youve come along way my friend.

dion · 12-07-2004, 02:55 PM

Nice job! What are your engine specs? Have you had it on the dyno yet?

c10-377 · 12-07-2004, 03:48 PM

the engine is a 400 small block destoked to a 377. The motor is completely roller, and has aluminum heads, intake, and holley 750 double pumper. .600" max lift cam in it. I havent had it on a dyno yet but my dad friend drag races and is very knowledgeable with motors and drove my truck. He said i porbaly have 500 at the rear wheels.

dion · 12-07-2004, 03:50 PM

Awesome job, oh and the dyno is always a heartbreaker

**Yukon Jack** · 12-07-2004, 04:28 PM

Great looking truck, enjoy it!

c10-377 · 12-07-2004, 04:28 PM

yeah i have heard from other people about dyno runs, but oh well i am not worried about dyno mainly i care about how hard the truck puts me back in the seat. I want my truck to have enough power that im afraid to put it to the floor but i havent reached that point yet but someday i hope i can.

Good answer....don't worry about putting a horsepower number on it, seat of the pants impression is a good measure of power; as some say, I can pass everything on the road, except the gas station!

P.S. very nice truck

c10-377 · 12-07-2004, 04:45 PM

your right i cant pass a gas station, thats why i drive my ranger during the week to work. 30mpg baby!!!! But the ranger has no power what so ever.

Classic. Isnt it a shame that by the time you get your vehicle exactly the way you want it you have to buy a POS for a daily driver because your too scared to mess up your beutiful ride? I have fallen victum to this before as well.

c10-377 · 12-07-2004, 05:10 PM

yes so true. The fact that the insurance company will only let me have liability sucks and if i wreck my 69 they will only give me what its worth without all the time and money i have put into it. I hate that ranger but its a gas getter and if someones runs into me i could care less.

The nicest vehicle i ever owned was a 94 Supra TT that i about $15k invested in mods, unfortunately it was a little too racey and had clearance problems so i didnt take it out much. Instead i bought an old prelude that had the rearend smashed in and drove that pos around. It was funny because people would look at me on the road with pitty all the while i was thinking to myself ..... if you saw the car in my garage your jaw would drop.

Im trying not to repeat that mistake again but i only know one way to do things so im sure my truck will be the new garage queen when its finished.

PunkRock247 · 12-07-2004, 07:16 PM

Hey c10-377,

I was just wondering how much you lowered your truck? It has a stance that is similar to what I want for mine. Also what did you use to lower it (i.e. springs/spindles)?

Thanks

krue · 12-07-2004, 08:07 PM

Great job on that truck!

Brainchild · 12-07-2004, 08:09 PM

Nice truck indeed.Definately come a long way,good work.
Did you drive it ugly with a wailin' motor in it? That's always fun to beat some one in a POS looking ride

Hate to be the bearer of bad news,but that'll never happen

Peregrine · 12-07-2004, 09:33 PM

Great lookin truck. Looks like the same color as mine, round abouts. Maybe a little darker. And it's nice to see someone else with fuzzydice. lol

Yeah, I have the Mazda version of the Ranger, a 4-banger at that, they definately left the balls off these trucks. 0-60 in about two minutes.
