And then?

You need to lower it to stock in the front and leave about 4" on the back.

Put 33" tires on it and murder the local pullin circuit.

I just know what it's like to look at a machine built to do something and not do it.

Plus, OBS trucks are light, so that loooong wheelbase would be killer on a dirt track with a little power and some weight on the front.

A lot of you guys have trucks so sharp looking that even though my current sig is a joke - I wonder if sending a few pics to MATTEL (IE: "HOT WHEELS") just to see if they make a special model like it would actually happen for real

I'm absolutely serious (could be a sponsor or some cash in it for all I know)

When you think about it, can't you just picture a tiny little version of SlammedIam's truck waiting next to a birthday cake or something for a lucky kid?
All wrapped up, new and shiny man... And it doesn't use batteries!

Besides - Lightnings are collectable

The sterling rear is a metric bolt pattern, it's a dana, I prefer those, have had many of them, the difference in a 3/4 is the axles are semi floaters, the tons are full floaters, which is stronger since the axle doesn't carry the load. I'd love a cleveland, no factory head flows better, go for a 4 barrel intake and carb, Fords like Carter's, go with a 600 CFM Edelbrock, you'll get a boost in power.

new parts to get it started after it had been neglected in a field for 6 years

$150 for edelbrock intake and 600CFM carb


And as it sits now, couple years left in the navy then i can get back to work on it as it still needs quite a bit


and my dads 69 F100 w/300
