man i want to live where you live...

well darrington isnt tobad... especially where i live... i live 5 miles outside of town... on a indian rez... the town has 1300 people or so... the rez has 20 houses around me...(10more in town) so i can basically do what i want, as long as its within the FEDERAL laws.... no county state or citty laws apply for me =] just federal... and the reservations laws.... its fun LOL

although it is boring at some points... but theres always somthing to do with some immagination and possibly money and a gun.... hahahaha or a welder....

i love your truck, and would like to see some more pics of the thing when you get the chance....

 

Hey Fabman are you going to add a bed to it

 

Nope.........The frame is cut off 2' behind the cab. I'm going to weld my drag boat trailer to the frame. The whole thing will be 33' long!

 

lol, and you'll have the turning radius of an aircraft carrier But that's a good call on the Caddy drivetrain, the TH425 is one of the strongest FWD transmissions you can get (if not the strongest, thing was used in big motorhomes and it held up just fine), and the Caddy engine should make some good torque. One advice tho - for the engine, keep the Q-jet carb on it, if it needs rebuild send it over to Sean Murphy for the work - Q-jets are as close as you can get to electronic injection without being one, and the guys from SMI can do small miracles with them and very very reasonable prices.

 

Did you ever finish this thing? How did it turn out? Got anymore pictures of it?

 

This project is not very high on my priority list right now. My business is booming and all my spare time is spent on these two projects right now:
