The only problem may getting a fan shroud to line up if it's actually that high. All I can say is after you bend the springs,break both axles,both driveshafts,the trans,transfer case,sling the rods out,drop the valves,and catch fire tryin' to drag 'ol bumpy backerds is[sm=violin.gif]

 

I plan on running an electric fan anway, so it really doesn`t bother me a whole lot. Considering what that truck has been through, if that is the only issue then I will be a lucky man.

And I bet all that would happen and it would still run. It is a Dodge after all. I could probably even park that clunker of yours on the back and haul it in after it blows up.

What do you think of brown with the core support, hood, and cowl being beige? The two tone thing is growing on me a little. The trim is still undecided. But at least I can be big pimpin`. Looking fly and rollin` phat.

 

i think the brown/beige two tone is awesome.

 

The only thing that would stop me is probably cost. But I think it looks good. How wide are the gaps between your fenders and doors? I wan`t to get this right the first time.

 

3/16' to 1/4' works pretty good. An old trick is to set the leading panel slightly out. Fender slightly out compared to the door .030' or so. Keeps the door gap from catching wind and making noise. Same for cab/door at the windsheild post. Door slightly lower than windsheild post etc. Do the doors first.

BTW,found a guy with a big dozer,says he'll help you pull 'ol Bumpy backerds for a nominal fee,provided you pay for whatever parts he breaks on his dozer,plus feild service or shop repair.

 

You wish! Now we have to have a tug of war when this is all over. Nothing like rebuilding one just to break it again. It really wouldn`t be that hard with you using that tiny tb on that 360. You`ll see what a finely tunded machine is capable of.

 

Just so happens I have spare 440 laying around,and a couple of 4.10 geared 3/4 ton axles. If I put the 440 in,I'll pull 5 plug wires to give ya a chance.
If we pull small blocks,I'll only take 3 wires off the 360,and keep theopen 3.21s Or maybe disconnect 1 inj. on the tiny TB.

 

But strong am I in the force. And if I were you, it would already have a 440 if I just happened to have a spare one. Unless you`re just afraid of all that power.[sm=vader1.gif]Perhaps you just aren`t ready for a real 4x4. And I bet I could still win. You can`t pull with four flat tires.

 

Beadlocks. The 440 is a '78 7.8/1 slug mtr. minus 5 cyls = 318[sm=nxsmile.gif]?

 

I think if you pull five wires it might have a hard time running.
