This truck was a cement contractors truck. The bed was rusted away by the time I got it.
Bed was replaced with a home made flat bed made of angle iron and sheet metal.
The 400 V8 was starting to use a little oil, so I had the engine rebuilt and hopped up.
The cab and doors haven't aged well... a lot of surface rust, but with less than 1k on the rebuild, it's hard to beat.
Fast stock, and faster now.
I once lit the rear tires up for a full block in Chicago, before the engine was hopped up, and it was still spinning when I let up.
But I don't think I ever got better than 9 mpg with the thing.
You spun the tires on a pickup with no bed on it?
Wow, that's impressive alright.
