I am thankful for trucks


I'm thankful for trucks because you can do so much with them. If it werent for trucks then there wouldnt be tailgates or truck boxes to sit on.If there werent trucks then there wouldn't be 4 wheelin, loud exhausts, big tires, and there wouldnt be anything to haul heavy loads with. There is no way your gonna get a load of gravel in your toyota prius. I'm very thankful for trucks and all the fun that comes with them.

My rear end thats in my truck.


I have an 8.8 inch trac-lok rear end. This is pretty much a positraction rear end. The 8.8 is the size of the ring gear. Trac Loc positraction for Ford 8.8" with 31 spline axles. The Trac Loc is a less aggressive, street-friendly limited slip suitable for daily driven vehicles and mild off-road use. This unit uses clutches and is Rebuildable. When you burn out, the first tire to spin is your drive tire which is usually your right rear in a pickup. When that tires starts spinning then your other tire engages to try to get traction. With this rear end it has clutch disks in it which ease the other tire into grabbing. This reduces the amount of wear and tear on your gears. It is nice for off road use because u have improved traction and it is built tougher than a limited slip set up. I enjoy this a lot more than my old rear end with standard limited slip set up.

Future truck I want to build.


I would really like to build a 77 ford highboy. I really like the look of the older highboys. I would start by dropping a 429CJ Ford crate engine in it. This would give it around 525 horsepower. I would go with dual Flow Master 40 series exhaust. 4 speed tranny, Dana 70 rear, Dana 60 front. 4; 56 gears. Rancho 4 inch suspension lift. 38x15.50x16.5 Super Swamper TSL tires. Color of truck is midnight metallic blue. Lund moon visor. Chrome 4 point roll bar. With 4 KC lights. Also would have a warn 12,000 lb. winch. This truck would be a beast and go anywhere. It would look something like this.
