Welcome from California! That is a nice collection. The F4 notion sound like it would look pretty good!

What drive train set up do you have in the silver 56 Joe? Really like the stance on it.

The silver 56 has a 347 stroker motor (about 435 hp) a c-4 tranny, 8.8 rear from an 96 explorer 3:73 posi, it runs well, flow master drag mufflers it's pretty loud

Those are some good looking trucks Joe, especially the F4 but, I guess I'm prejudiced

That sounds pretty nice, I've got to make a decision for the 56 I'm working on now.

I should have recognized the color- my Marauder was Silver Birch. The heavy flake content in the color looks even nicer accentuating the curves of your '56 than on a modern car!

I had my Marauder for 10 years. When I sold it in June it had only 37k miles and still looked like the day it was built and smelled like a new car inside.
