Just made the 1600mi round trip to pick up this death trap. I’d been going back and forth with the owner trying to find time to make the trip down. Then he slammed it through a fence and the deal changed a bit. The original builder did(in my opinion) a nice job building the truck. It has(according to the original builder) a gen4 5.3 taken out to a 383. Texas speed heads, and lots of other goodies and made 480hp and 480tq at the wheels. Backed by a 4L80 and an 8.8. Plans right now are just to straighten it out from the wreck then do some much needed maintenance the previous owner neglected. I got to drive it in GA and it is absolutely wild how powerful it is. Sadly we just got over a foot of snow so she’s grounded till spring. C356D9F9-19EE-45DA-9897-AC4F51684755.jpeg.c444a5f69355d344aa0e8eba89267c65.jpeg

I guess I haven’t updated in a while. Got the front end put back together and managed to keep the patina. Even found a nice faded out original grill and bumper. 5CAC3E6E-7764-4AE4-A0C1-8E2C40276A86.jpeg.3a287bdae30764f14168a123dc79e55d.jpeg
