Thanks everyone. And yes this will always be a street able truck. Right now it has a veryyyyy mild 5.3 in it. If it had Ac, and inner fenders it could be daily driven easily. It just looks fast lol

Just want to throw this out there . Look into padding the cage around the head area on both sides . Street cars with cages can be dangerous . If you get hit and jerked around there is a greater chance for head trauma on the cage . It is like being hit with a pipe or a padded pipe . Just a thought .

Yes very good idea. Ive been meaning to look into getting some padding. I ill need to get the offset padding or just cut some in half and attatch it to the cage. Im gonna look tonite and get some ordered.

337 hp doesn't sound like much, but at the rear wheels, in that truck with the new frame. Would love to watch it run 1/4 mile.



337 to the rear wheels ain't no slouch. Mine is in the 6s on pump gas with 303hp :D

and yes that is one sick build you have there

MAN I can not get over this truck. After my 80 is done, and my Fairlane, I'll have to get a long bed 2wd and throw a 390 in it or something 8O :D Like the buff spots on the decal too

Are you still selling the hub kits for changing luv to 5 lug? I'm new to the site (& luv's for that matter) & I'm not having much luck finding info on how to swap these trucks over easily. Those hubs look like the ticket! :D

Yeah my dad is in the process of making a set actually. Only working on them in his spare time so they're moving slow.
