"The Beast" 85 Chevrolet Crew Cab Dually

[MrBeast]

Well many of you may remember this thread Well last night I bit the bullet, and after working from 6 AM to almost 7 PM, I borrowed the wrecker from my boss, and pointed her in the wind towards Houston. 4 hours and $1,000.00 later she was mine!



I had to yank the Duals off of it to get it on the deck of the wrecker, but I got it loaded up, hauled it back home and fired up the smokey knocking ole 454 for one last time and pulled it into the shop where I am going to yank the motor and transmission.



The plan is to clean up the engine bay, possibly even paint it, and then stuff this puppy in there!



It is the 454 from the Boss Hoss, it has a Forged Steel Crank, Forged Rods and pistons, and a full roller top end, and let me tell you this puppy will pull and pull and pull and pull, and it wont stop! I love this engine. And yes that is a NV4500 behind it, and yes it is going to be used too!

Once it is installed I have a set of Alcoa Aluminum wheels that I will be mounting up on it, the running boards are going bye bye, as well as the roof rack and farmer john special headache rack, I am going to do a rattle can touch up on the paint in a couple of places to hold the rust back, fix the electric windows and locks, install new carpet, and possibly the seats out of a 97 tahoe, We will see on that though.

Now here is the crazy part, I am going to try to have this truck totally on the road ready to leave by the 30th of April. Why is that you ask? Well because I am fixing to make one heck of a...

ROAD TRIP!!!



And what would be the purpose of this road trip one might ask? Why to go pick up a very pretty girl of course!
