Yeah they look good, but the front spoiler on the SRT-10 bumper is just too low for a daily driver to me. I was at the track awhile back and a guy blew his SRT-10 up. I ended up hauling it home for him. It was all we could do to load and unload that truck without tearing up the front bumper, and my hauler's deck is lower than most.

I just posted a side view. I also posted a picture of the Sherman tank engine that I am building. It is getting close to running after 2 years of work.

Ford GAA tank engine, 5.4 bore x 6.0 stroke, 1100 cubic inch gas engine, first used in WWII tanks. Aluminum block ( dry sleeves ), heads, pan, front and valve covers. It weighs about 1400 lbs. with all the tank accesories on it, but I've whittled it down to a little over 900 lbs. now. The heads have pent roof chambers with a centrally located spark plug, and use a cam follower setup similar to many high tech. engines built today to open the 32 valves. The double overhead cams are shaft driven using a bevel and worm style gear setup. Ignition will be supplied by 2, GM 4 cly. HEI style distributors sending the signals to dual MSD boxes (1 for each bank ). I just finished building the intake. It uses two 3.700 throttle bodies, and Enderle injectors ( 2 per cyl. )will supply the alcohol. The engine will make around 900 HP/ 1300 ft. lbs. in naturally aspirated form, and 3400 HP / 4500 ft. lbs. with the twin turbos pushing 34 lbs. of boost. The turbo version is only for my tractor. I hope to crank it up before the end of the year.

thanks..... yeah I day dream alot and can visualize how to make things look alot nicer. Maybe I could go pro and design for some SEMA rigs Not to toot my own horn but I get alot of compliments on my truck and it was very simple and cheap to do.

That why when before you take it in to get painted you have them cut off that lame lower chin part that hangs down low. It would actually look better with it off then on. That and you 2wd one ton dulley is WAY taller then the 2" factory drop on the 1/2 ton 2wd SRT-10.

Wow do ya think ive been enjoy what ive drank tonight
