Looks PURDY!

It's a FrankenCat.
Hodge podge of the best parts.
Mostly Acert stuff, little bridge motor, shot of marine and even a dash of an industrial application.
70 pin ecm
16:1 compression
Actuators are present but not functional, ecm couldn't run them if it wanted to.
Nothing too crazy, just an honest 1k horses.
Best part?
Still $8k CHEAPER than an emission truck woulda been!

I can believe it... If I had it to do all over again, I would have found an old Pete and restored her, I could have two sitting in my driveway right now with the monies I have lost and invested into this current truck.

[Texasdude74]

36" bunk
260" wheelbase
Disc brakes
2050 driveline
New 18 speed
14.6k lb car hauler front axle with car hauler low, low air leaf.
Platinum interior, leather Atlas seat and wood grain dash.
$156k all in.
Truck is in Jacksonville where the roof will be chopped 8" and cab lowered another 4".
$8k for the mods but would have been done emission truck or not.
Then a headrack will be built on it, won't haul its first load until some time in July. One year build time basically.

I resent that comment gearhead
