1980 Chev stepside shortbox - 350LT1 - 400 turbo trans - posi rear - dual exhaust - 35" monster mudders - a few engine mods i'm not sure of like an edelbrock dome n carb and other stuff..

i loveit when he has to move it out of his way because right now she's open headers.. like bein at the monster trucks lol


UPDATE.. there is no update lol he's a body man and the summer up here is his busy time so he has no time to work on the truck right now lol.. but i got some other cool pics for you guys of some of his buddies rigs.. enjoy
