Hi Everyone,
Here is a picture of one of my trucks. I call this one Brutus.
I really named the truck before I found it. Had to find a truck to fit the name. He is cloaked as a 1984 3/4t Dodge. Was a 2 wheel drive truck painted silver with red interior.
Under the hood rests a 440, with a 727 Auto and a NP-205 transfer. Rear axle is a Dana 70, front is a Dana 60. Geared at 4:10.
Tires he is wearing now are some Michelin 11r16's type "S"
yes they really are type "S".
he is also sporting some looks/badging from a muscle car.
I have never verified if the block is a true 440Mag.
I don't use him much other then driving around. He is a little tempermental and won't start after I run him for short distances.
Needs a whole new ignition system and I don't have the money
just yet nor what exactly to buy him.
Future plans, I really bought him for the drivetrain. I had thoughts of putting the drivetrain under a 41 or 42 PW. But I can't find a cab/front clip which is affordable nore the fact that many people would not like such a chop. I have since obtained a 1979 Plymouth Trailduster which is pretty much rust free.
My plan would be to take the drivetrain from the pick-up and put it under the trailduster with a few modifications.
re-gear the axles to 4:89 or higher depending on final tire size.
I would like to be between 40 and 50" tire diameter.
Need lockers of some sort. I also plan on a double transfercase.
Well that is the plan... we shall see.
