The Rotten Pumpkin
I've owned this truck for like 12 years now its always been the summer DD back then I never thought much about it. It was just fun and I didn't care if it got door dings. When I first got it she was a straight 6 three on the tree but the clutch went bad so the small block and 700r4 I had sitting around went in. Now days its a 350 with a little cam 221/221 on a 108, Q jet on a iron intake, some summit heads 72 cc chambers. Still got the 700r4 but the reared has been swapped to a '71 12 bolt with 3.08 gears (the slightly wider axle helped run the 8" rims out back). These days she mostly gets used for longer highway trips.

Re: The Rotten Pumpkin
Thanks. Not really I just use it, though at some point a front sway bar would be nice

Re: The Rotten Pumpkin
I like it! A front sway bar is definitely a good modification. It improved the drivability of my truck a ton

Re: The Rotten Pumpkin
Took the pumpkin out to the Tin Butchers Scrap Drive today. Pretty good show considering the threat of rain
