The paint is nice and all but.. that engine is what really gets me excited! Lets here more about that bit.
What kind of numbers did it make on the dyno? And what exhaust are you running. The truck didn't hesitate a bit to roast some rubber.
Did anyone happen to watch the crash test for our trucks that this video linked to? That was brutal.

557 ci
Mild cam, ported iron heads 2.02/1.79.
I didn't want crazy power, as I still wanted it driveable
If memory serves 6xx hp, low to mid 600's, 7xx torque, low to mid 700's
4:11
Headers to electronic dumps, borla muffler, 3.5" tubes? Mabe 3-3.25, been a while
Even with that low power
Damage:
One front Dana 44( now a 60)
Two rear 60's, on 3rd
Two TCI built c6's, on 3rd w monster cooler
Etc
Next is EFI I think

Wow! That paint job looks great and the whole truck looks to be in amazing shape.
I would love to have that engine in my truck but not sure how the extra u-joints with the divorced transfer case would hold up under that kind of power.
Did you do your own paint and body work? That clear coat looks like glass!

No, had done
Painter decided to only put the green fleck in the side paint and keep top white. It is growing on me but I think I may have him reshoot the top. Any thoughts?
The shafts are f450 cut to fit and upgraded u joints and carrier. Also added driveshaft loops for security

Am I the only one who watched that video several times? Damn that 557 sounds healthy! Beautiful truck man! Lovin the two tone!
IMO I would have him re-shoot the top, but it's beautiful either way.
