the best thing you can do to that 460 is to unleash its potential with a cam, intake, perf. carb, headers, and ported Dove heads or something equivlent.

Can never go wrong with a NP205 xcase.

Thanks, butt i really cant spend very much more money, about $500 more. All the stuff i'v gotten already was free. I got the truck from my cousin, driveshafts from our old dump truck, tires(off course) off old combines, and the motor from a old 76 parts truck. So i really cant go any further without any mulla. Also, how could I build some good off roadung trails on a 400 acre wooded farm?

What mods have you done to get the wheels/tires ready for your pickup? Around here we take old combines and run them in a combine demo derby -- lots of fun!!! Search for it on the net and you should find some pic's.... What size tires are they?

23x126are the tire sizes. all i did was cut the fender wells out, get some Ford 750 axles put under it, and rigged a steering mechinizm up. Also since yesterday,i picked up some hedeman headers (free), np205 t case ($150), and Warn 5000 lb max winch for front and back (christmas present). Thats about allive done to the truck. Also i have got the body painted (spray paint).
