Nice thread!

Big Nate...Love the '42 COE. Some other nice rides on here as well.

My truck - a 1990 454SS Pickup that I bought with 3400 miles on it in 1991. Completely stock then. Pretty much every nut and bolt has been removed at one time or another. It has been thru several iterations, and probably wil have more changes in the future.

Currently it has a 461ci BBC (original block to the truck - but no other internals are original) with a T56 six Speed, and 4.56 gears/Eaton posi in the original 14 bolt rear end housing. The motor was freshened/dynoed by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering in 2001. They basically did the head porting and selected a Hydraulic Roller cam to their specs. It makes 505 peak HP and 535 peak TQ. On a Dynojet chassis dyno it makes 398 whp. It is a blast to drive, runs mid 12s and gets 17mpg on the highway (gotta love .50 OD). It is way more fun than my GTO. I want to boost it, but the BBC runs so good the way it is, I hate to mess it up.

Future plans are to build a 454ci LSx based motor with twins on it, with a tranzilla or LSx T56. Lighter weight and more power! Then I'll put the BBC/T56 in maybe a '67 Chevelle or Nova, or even a '55-58 pickup.

My whole intent while building it was kinda walk softly/carry big stick. It is mostly original paint, and the interior is as delivered for the most part. It also has a healthy sound system in it, but mostly hidden.

It has done 2 HR Power Tours, and will probably do another one soon. It was built with the best components that I could afford and is very reliable. I'll have this truck forever.

Then:



Now:

The Green Weanie Bronco. 96 last year. I love this thing... crank windows, manual tranny, locking hubs, rubber floor mat, rear seat is quick remove.... and it is an oddball bench seat one. Added amp speakers the bit, gas shocks, new front springs, rear stabalizer bar, and rear outside spare mount. 302 semi anemic but I love this thing.

my lottery fantasy is 1 ton running gear and a 460

My Dad worked for a Hudson dealership after the war. They used to drive up and pick up new cars and drive them back. He always called the Terraplanes, Toledo Vibrators. They shook the **** out of them at speed coming home I guess. He drove Hudsons for years up until they quit making them. He then bought a 56 Plymouth Savoy. Mom insisted on buying Pontiacs after they were married, The owner of the local Mopar dealer pissed her off the first time she went in and she never went back.

So you know up to a 2002 axles are a bolt in on the leaf spring trucks, u joints are slightly different [02's are larger], need to use a 97 HEAVY DUTY F250 4 wheel disc brake master cyl also. Made a world of difference in my 83 F250 and the way it drives. Personally I'd stuff a 7.3 Turbo in it with a 5 / 6 speed!

Can you imagine a family of 10 (Mom, Dad and 8 kids) showing up at the beach in that thing...

That's what we did back in the 60's....

I still have the wicker picnic basket and the blue metal cooler that we would pack up and put in the trunk - along with the 10 beach towels, charcoal, etc...

Dad always had a company demonstrator, but we used the limo when we all went to the beach or on trips around Minnesota, Wisconsin or the UP of Michigan.
