Clown show ^

Getting tired of having count the lugs on a truck because people won't list if it's a 4x4.

My friend picked this up about a month ago for $4500. We're in Michigan but this thing came from Washington State and is super clean underneath for it's age. Almost zero rust besides one cab corner that is starting to break out. 5.8, manual shift 4x4, 220k miles. They're getting hard to find but out there.

Yeah I drive the wheels off of that rig. I like your regular cab dodge, I'm thinking about a 18 up f150 regular cab I'd probably lower it a bit also.
I LOVE the reg cab F150 trucks.
So nasty looking, especially dropped/leveled out.

id love a standard cab 2wd OBS chevy. i inherited my grandfathers 94. its an extra cab but hey, it was free. its 5.7 tbi. only 120-130k on it. needs a little motor work. interior is pretty mint. body not bad.
my buddy has a crate motor vortec that he's been sitting on for yeeears. was thinking of grabbing that for it. eventually would like to drop it and throw some nice billet wheels on it and make it a dd/cruiser.

i was thinking the vortec would have more power and better mpg than the tbi motor. i originally thought about 6.0 but will probably want to keep it smog legal. so its vortec or tbi.

Stopped in Kansas City to see my Sister and her husband. That's his grandfather's Squarebody. 305/th350 2WD Long Bed. South Carolina truck.

Love it, but damn those Squares have a tight cab.

Vortec and a carb. Keep it simple.

Vortec being the late +96 iron heads right?
They have a different intake porting and bolt pattern so older SBC intakes won't work, if I recall.

Of course it works. Edelbrock and many others make a vortec specific intake for carb appliations.

Oh I know what you mean. I just see people throwing around "vortec" a lot making BS up. (like the old High Outputs).
