Straight axle front, bought brand new, with parallel leaf springs and shocks. Rear is leaf spring also with shocks. Front disc brakes, also purchased new, and Ford truck rear drums. Steering is manual rack and pinion. Wide whitewalls on the front, and cheater slicks in the rear. Tires are a little over a year old.Drivetrain- Motor is a completely rebuilt Chevy 327 out of a 1967 Chevelle. New heads, (Camel hump 327 heads), camshaft (Earson), and hypereutectic pistons. Has a Weiand Street Charger 4-71 Blower and Holley 750 carb. Custom made headers (VERY loud). Transmission is a TH350. Rear end is a Ford 9 inch. Aluminum radiator, and high flow water pump. Probably around 5000 miles on the motor to date.Body- 46 Dodge truck cab chopped 3 inches in the rear and 6 inches in the front. Original dash, steering wheel and column from a 50's Chevy truck.

The Speedo needs rebuilt, and it has an auxiliary temp switch located on steering column. Oil pressure gauge works good. Custom made seats that were professionally upholstered, (very comfortable).Truck is a blast to drive, gets a ton of attention. I wanted it to look rough and mean when I built it, and it plays that role pretty well. It will make small children cry. :-) I've had the truck for about 4 years, always garage kept and well maintained. Don't have to sell, but want to build something else. Not interested in trades. I've driven the truck to Beatersville car show in Louisville KY for the past two years (about 2.5 hours away) always performed well on the road. I'm happy to answer any questions, TEXTING is the best way to reach me. (812) 480-5532 Thanks for looking
