Can You "get It Up" Like This? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PICKMUP · 02-11-2003, 11:24 PM

Not all of my customers are driving low riders. Chassis lift, body lift and lots of horsepower. Runs it at mud bog events and drives it on the street. 477 cu in BB with two fours & tunnel ram. It sounds mean through 3" exhaust. To get the tires to come out to the new 16" wide rims, they poured liter fluid inside and lit it!!!Blew the tires right out and on to the rim beads. Wild...it did turn one wheel a little blue. LOL.

Boing!

weasel29gm · 02-11-2003, 11:32 PM

I'm not a 4X4 guy, but a ride like that would change my mind!!!!!!! Sweet and Stout!!!!!! Love it!!

ocbaud · 02-11-2003, 11:33 PM

nice!!!

*Gee_Emm* · 02-12-2003, 12:11 AM

Its almost too perty to take off road

Crank · 02-12-2003, 12:31 AM

The fender cut outs are definately WAY too big. Just my opinion, but it's a badass truck with a NICE engine.

Damn! Bad ass.

'72 Shorty · 02-12-2003, 01:08 AM

Nice truck, A little too tall for my tastes, but still a very nice truck.

The Ether/lighter fluid trick sure is fun, I've had 38" swampers blow all the way off the rim from using a little too much, but definitely makes short work of seating the beads

72 CustomCamper · 02-12-2003, 01:47 AM

That is one sweet ride, dame shame here in Va the cops would be all over it. I had a 79 f@#d with 39's and got hasseled way too many times.

A very nice Truck. SWEET.

Burly......I like it!!!

Tynee · 02-12-2003, 10:19 AM

I don't know much about much, but with the kind of suspension travel that thing gets, I'd say the fender have to be cut out that big. Just a guess.

btw, Crank sounds much better than BraBra.:p

wnc mountain · 02-12-2003, 11:18 AM

NOW THAT'S JUST INSANE... BUT I LIKE IT!!!!
DOES THAT MAKE ME INSANE?

**Yukon Jack** · 02-12-2003, 11:42 AM

I notice he isn't running inner fenders - those mud bogs sure must make a mess of that engine! That's a pretty tough rig.

bouncytruck · 02-12-2003, 12:46 PM

Yukon Jack, I was thinking the same thing. He needs to get some inner fenders before he dirtys up the pretty engine! Or, he can have my engine and I'll keep that one all nice and clean!

**BIG ORANGE** · 02-12-2003, 03:02 PM

I dont care for 4x4s but that is one MEAN MACHINE

PICKMUP · 02-12-2003, 03:23 PM

He just got it out of the paint booth, so the inner fenders are not back on yet. He used to run it in black primer and says he can't wait to get some mud on that new red paint to "break it in"! Oh, it gets 3mi to the gallon!!!!! But, it is a fun 3 miles!

jeffbo · 02-12-2003, 05:09 PM

It's a little bit much for me, but its still pretty cool.

GreenMystChevy · 02-12-2003, 05:23 PM

Lowering a truck into the weeds is nice but when you are up so high you can't even see the weeds, now that is cool. That truck is very clean looking, exactly what I want. I am currently taking donations

**Yukon Jack** · 02-12-2003, 05:28 PM

Pickmup - can you ask him what his brake hydroboost system is off of - I'm putting one on my 69 from a 89 1 ton and would like to know what he did about connecting the brake pedal to the push rod and whether he used his existing pedal assembly.

bouncytruck · 02-12-2003, 06:38 PM

Nice looking rig. Is he in the Olympia area? I'd love to see that thing around town!

Pont · 02-12-2003, 07:12 PM

I used to be able to "get it up" like that but now I'm getting to old!

Nice truck, makes mine look like a toy
