Now that is what I was waiting to hear. "Street Legal"

What's the mods on the motor ? How much hp do you think you're pushing?

drive it around el cajon/santee. you'd fit right in. but the difference? you actually use it for what it was meant for, not as a pavement queen. props man thats a SICK truck.

Motor has a weber carb, a Thorley header and full exhaust, and an MSD ignition. If it has 100hp downhill I'd be happy.

I live in the El Cajon/Lakeside area, so i fit right in!

Sure, but I don't think a straight axle on leafs is going to hang with me too well.

Inside the cab?

Bucket seats, and an aluminum panel with gauges and switches, it's very simple.

I ripped all this out and custom wired the entire truck

Thanks for all the kind words. I know a lot of people here are into 4x4 trucks, but with a 9 inch rear end, a spool, and 15 inches of wheel travel, it's pretty tough to get this thing stuck.
