Nice... But baseball aint my thing.... Never have been much of a fan...
As for outsourcing...
We wonder why the economy is so jacked up... We will probably wind up paying more for panasonic to use the cheaper labor... Sweet more money in there pockets, less in mine!

Nope thats totally normal, actually thats good, you get better gas mileage since the v shape helps to either move air around the truck or funnel it under the truck...

uh yea iggy... Ive got a set here... Just ship me the highboy and i will install them and make sure they function properly... If they do then i will send them back.. Dont blame me if they dont function properly full of mud, and well if they dont function properly then i will just keep tweaking them until i get them to function properly. So its a very good possibilty that i could have your truck for several years... But it would be worth it in the end cause you would have some sweet spinners...

lets see now,i like the diff.cover,4 wheel disk brakes,and the tires look plenty agressive. other than that, "Your awful purty,how long you been in prison?"........
I would borrow it from the owner and beat the tar out of it then shoot it and return it to him and say ''thatll buff out'' as I watched him bawl like a baby.

Lol. so he called me... Ford prevails.... AGAIN... , i would put that truck up on ebay, then with the money i get, maybe i could fund my build

ok.. its not bad to have a truck that civilized women want to get into.. i have two trucks but i would call the one built for mud the mall crawler and the one thats got the airride suspension my mud truck.. you know why? capability.. ive gone through 4' deep holes in my dodge and gotten plum stuck in my ford.... heres a list of specs and you tell me which one seems more mall crawlerish and ill show you the truck that pulls more ass than any 77 rust bucket on 35s will.. im not downing the old trucks.. my 96 ford is not a looker.. its good lookin to me and maybe other ford enthusiasts but not women.. ha.. its my f*** up truck...

A truck can look good and perform good too, but if its built for looks BEFORE functionality, its a mall crawler... I didnt build my truck to attract the chicks, i built it how i like it. Now i can clean it up, and it will look decent. Dont get me wrong, but i aint affraid to wheel the chit outta it either.

Hmmm,nearly 400 hp on the dyno,40"tires,and stock axles(BTW,this is no rip on Dodge,i really like mine!)w/lockers?? Unless the owner has access to some metallurgy i havent heard of,im gonna wager a tires gonna grab some really high traction something in the mud he's driving in,and POW,BIFF,BAM(remember Batman on TV?) somethings going to break......Way too much HP,too much tire,and a lot of traction for ANYBODY'S stock 1/2 ton running gear.... Or,am i wrong? A good friend of mine managed to bust the front axle on his 74 Highboy trying to ram his way through a snowdrift years ago,stock 2bbl 360 w/Ca. emissions,np 435,4.10's,33" A/t's. Im quite certain that his 360 put out a whole lot less HP/torque than the Dodge in question,and that the Fords D60 rear/HD D44 front(w/open diffs,no less!) are beefier than stock 1/2 ton running gear........Or,am i wrong again,i'll guess not!
