looks like a cherry little truck, id keep it the way it is..

but if you MUST do something, I'd say pull that 6 cyl out and give it some pep.

Ive always been a fan of being different, and i always wanted a fast 6 cyl ( i think they sound really cool when they turning at like 6500 rom :metal: )

Id say lower is, but it looks as though you do some towing, so you dont want to sacrifice and spring travel.

i think a 6cyl sleeper would do the truck :burnout:

If you want to be different, a blown six with nitrous would be sweet. But a big block would look pretty sick in there too!

Nate, that poor thing is nearly a basket case. Sign the title over to me and I'll take it off your hands -- maybe I'll toss in a few bucks 'cause you seem like a nice young feller... I'll be right over to pick it up.



Seriously, that's a sweet truck and the six is somewhat unique anymore. I wonder if a five-speed manual box would bolt up to it? Hmmmm......

i like the 6 cylinder, i am kind of wanting one for myself (just because it is different) I think that most guys on here would love to have a truck as nice as yours is

Bring that thing closer to the ground....

First things first. You have a honey of a truck there- real good bones to work with. Not a huge fan of red, but in your case, it works.

If this were in my garage the first thing I'd do is set the altitude a tad closer to terra-firma with a mild 2.5 / 4 inch drop kit (discs in front of course).
Then I'd probably toss on some 17" Coddington Smoothie II's w/ lo-pro BFG's.
After that I'd heat up that 6-banger with 3 side-draft webers, some nitrous, and a nice set of clifford twice-pipes.
Hook up a TKO or NV3500 five-speed tranny and a 3.73 posi and you'll have yourself a killer combo in my book.

beautiful truck, if it runs as good as it looks, rock it out.

Good looking truck. I'd leave it like it is because it's different....

The last show I went to all of the old classics looked the same under the hood. All v-8's with chrome all over. Nice to look at though.

I'd lower it to give it a nice rake look and ride better, but not slammed.

My age is showing... ;)

Don't change a thing. Rock it til the wheels fall off.

Beautiful truck - I love the 6 bangers. I say just enjoy it. If you gotta monkey with something, buy something else and fix it up. You could probably could use something that would pull that boat a little better.

SCM-2926 Supercharger manifold www.inliners.org/larrowe/index.html If you do not have it already get the Leo Santucci inline 6 power manual great help in hot rodding these motors.If I found a complete rebuilt 6 cyl set-up w/ a/c and p/s I would trade my rebuilt 355 shortblock and good running 350 engine for it .
