"i dont see any traction bars. does it need them?"
no, it seems to do okay with the hoosiers, but we havent had it at the track yet to see exactly how well it hooks.
"can you get some better pics of that turbo? and what kind of turbo is that. "
i will try and get some better pics, its a garrett T4 turbo. its a little small but it works good.
"That 77 has a 78 Grill,or is it a 78?
Very Nice Trucks.
How many 73-79s You have?"
the truck is a 77 with the 78 grille, at the moment i we have 4 complete dentsides and a rolling chassis, and 3 bumpsides.
thanks everyone for your comments!
