[lunchmeat]

How much?

 

[k9t8m]

It says make offer.

 

[unity]

Nice. Not a truck person but at least it has the right power plant.

 

[richduty455]

nice, but I'm not sure one of our motors is the best in a truck, they're not exactly torque monsters, i would of went with something a little more torquey....460, 428, 427, 390...etc....just my 0.02

poor man's 1st gen lightning!!

 

[kustomizingkid]

Don't look to bad!!!

What trans??

That thing is prolly a DOG off the line...

 

[MediumD]

I've got to ask why though... A 351w or even a BBF would've been so much easier and cheaper. The 4v mod motors are good for high RPM power, not so much a good truck motor. If it's just for the "hey look what I can do" factor, that's fine, but...

 

[lscmkviii]

probably has a 5k stall converter. Lol.

according to consumer guide, a regular cab short bed 2wd weighs 3886 lbs


about the same as a mark viii

 

[kustomizingkid]

Wowza... I would have never thought they were that light.

My 4wd F150 weighs 6000lbs, 6750lbs with the trailer attached.

yeah i was kinda suprised too, maybe thats wrong, but then again a base truck is pretty stripped down and cheap to buy too.
