I like it! Tailgate is banged up and he didn't really post enough pictures but it looks pretty nice. It also doesn't look lowered 4/3

 

at first glance I realylike it, but then what kinda truck has those rims/tires? that wouldn't make it across the flat pasture, let alone the creek.......

 

Another example of someone with more money than brains , with those 20" wheels. Notice the 5 lug pattern ie 1/2 ton rearend... Nice paint job on the engine though...

 

I like it too ... not too sure that the 1/2 ton frame and running gear will hold up too long, but it looks nice.

The batmobile color scheme for the seats might be a little much for my taste.

PISTOL

 

they work good for me, my truck is something fun for me to drive tho its not meant for work or anything.

 

I had the idea of putting the engine and an OD trans in my brothers half ton. I didn't do it, but the frames were the same on the 91 donor and the 87 half ton. The only concern I had was the 1/2 ton axles and wether they would hold up or spit the posi unit right out the cover.

 

If it doesn't have to work for a living and nobody turns the motor up too much the half ton rear will be fine.

Looks to me like the whole motor was spray bombed after it was already in the truck - notice the paint on the hose clamps. I'd certainly give the $2k it's bid to thus far for it though.

 

Im with dave id drop the 2k on it then pull then engine, and sell the truck. Im sure someones got a 360 or 318 layin round the grage and would buy the truck and make it their the hotrod.

 

FTD, you get that headgasket figured out yet???

 

Is it my imagination or is the front bumper bent or twisted? I wonder how many miles it gets to a set of ball joints considering how long the ball joints last in the 3/4 T 2WD's.

 

Yelp head and new gasket are on but, the oil cooler is out. I need to rig up an oil pressure tester, im gonna use a coolant tester and do some jerryriggin. I had the truck running for like 30 mins. then it blew a heater line (my idioticself didnt have it tightened all the way) and i shut the truck down, and noticed some oil in the radiator, i figured it was just redisue, so i check the oil and sure enough there was water in to oil. my luck solve one problem get another.

 

I like it and hate it at the same time.

 

After a second look, I like the seats. They look like late 90's Ford seats that were recovered don't they? At least the console looks Ford?

 

That thing needs a better rear end and some drag skinnies up front, with it's weight compared to our monsters it could be a killer fast drag truck with drivetrain work, try to imagine, then go fiberglass tilt front end, paint ramchargers on the side in candy apple red.
