Another Crew is back on the Road!

For all of you with project trucks, know that it can be done. This one started in 2005 and I put back on the road last week.

The interior is not finished, but that will hopefully happen this summer.
There are a lot of things different about this truck that a normal F250 4wd does not have, such as a coil spring front, and a Bronco II gas tank. I will post engine pics soon.

Just to give hope to ya'll standing among pieces.

Oh, and to show you part of the reason it took so long, here is a video(I hope) of our mud racing truck in action last week. You just can't work on too many projects at once, so the crew sat in the barn untouched all of last year.

1985 F-250 429 running 10.5 compression, forged flat tops, custom racing cam, MSD chipped at 6000 rpms, 2500 rpm stall convertor (soon to be 4500), full manual valve body C6 with ratchet shift, 830 cfm Holley double pumper.
YouTube - Hook em' up 1
If this link does't work, search Hook em up and see what Louisiana mud racing is all about.

You just can't have too many Ford trucks!
