When I was highschool we'd just ride them around on the dog box. I guess it was too common for anyone to really pay much attention. In IL Im sure people would shat bricks to see a bloody deer head on a truck grill while stepping over a bloody gang member is business as usual.

i'm out in a pretty rural area, you'll see deer strapped down to all sorts of random vehicles, my favorite so far was this old cheap farmer who had a deer ratchet strapped to his festiva's roof, but you don't see many rotten heads as hood ornaments.

Yeah Paul, that's genius.
If your gonna unhook the brakes before I drive it, let it at least be a piece of **** Rustang.
Nick has worked too long on that thing to have it drive through ten cars trying to stop.
Pff. If your trying to kill me, the least you could do is not throw in innocent bystanders! :P

Ordered a new carb tonight.. The original plan was to buy the Summit 750 elec choke, vacc secondary Summit Racing SUM-M08750VS - Summit Racing Street & Strip® Carburetors - Overview - SummitRacing.com and try it out for a while. Then if I was not satisfied, put the summit on my street truck and order the Holley 750 Truck Avenger carb Holley 0-90770 - Holley Truck Avenger Carburetors - Overview - SummitRacing.com. I have since found the Holley for $318 shipped to my door. Hope it worth the extra wait and money!
New intake, cam and lifter kit and timing set are next on the list.
Also, I may have found a sweet deal on some 15" rockwell rims, 46" Baja Claws and air shocks. Not my favorite tire in the world but a step in the right direction, I think.

I got stuck...
For 26 hours.
This Dixie Innovations R & D session was going great, made it through some pretty serious mud holes, did some hill climbs; the new Holley was performing beyond our expectations! We decided we'd follow around the lake and see if there was a trail connecting to the other side. We happened upon the spring that feeds the lake and a buddy on 36" Tsl's made it through without much effort but failed to climb the adjacent sand bank. So in comes the 53's!!! WAAAAAHHHH! ... Sank it. ... About 10 trucks, 20 people, 5 stuck trucks, 2 twelve thousand pound winches, 4 tow straps, ump-teen trips back to the truck and trip to the hospital for heat exhaustion later... It's sunk over the top of 4 and a half foot of Michelin rubber on all four corners. At one point the bell housing bolts backed out and the transmission became detached from the motor, pulling the driveshaft from the slip yoke. Giving us rear wheels only. Into the wee hours of the morning and into the next day, we hacked a trail for/with a backhoe that, after an hour or so of hopeless effort, finally gives us a glimpse of the passenger-side rear tire again and hope is regained! Several hours later, the truck is loaded and on its way home. Thanks to everyone that helped and supported us through this unbelievable adventure!
