    My "new to me" Truck

    Well, my buddy finally let loose of his old truck. Blown 393 and a bunch of other goodies. This thing pulls strong! Now she's mine, all mine (as long as the wife doesn't want to "borrow" it lol). If the truck looks familiar, yes it is Ralph Gabards old truck.

    Nice, I love hot rod trucks. I dont like the ground effects either, but kinda adds a sleeper look to it. Makes you think an old mans custom conversion truck, til it spanks it off the line lol...

    it does have that sleeper look, just not the sleeper sound . Hope to take it to the track some and see what it will do. Maybe take it to Cinci Speed Dyno Days too and go from there Thanks for the compliments.
