14.73 is pretty good numbers for a big ol' truck like that. Pretty cool stuff! How long ago was that taken?

The picture is over 10 years old i'd guess. It sat in his driveway for a long time. My wife talked him into selling it us. They picked it up in someones backyard, dropped a hopped up 350 Chevy, trans and a Dana 410 rear end. The fast motor was swapped out for some other 350 Chev. They did some other minor body work. Needs some body work now but it's in pretty good condition
