Which is sad because i've never seen the truck washed. It's strictly a work truck. The inside of the bed is all aluminum diamond plate and has a fifth wheel hookup. They filled the inside of the cab with sound absorbing foam too. All the gauges are custom. Yet he put white spoke wagon wheels on it. The guy is just a bit off.

Sounds like my kind of guy
I imagine that little jimmy with both a blower and a turbo really humms............I almost bought a late 70's GMC 3/4 ton with a 4-71. They guy who had it said they haven't found a gooseneck big enough to haul the weight needed to slow it down on a hill............Sadly it was also a 4x2 so I didn't want it.
Need a 4x4.
67K30, The intake/exhaust is opposite on mine compared to a 5.9.........The turbo/intake on mine is on the driverside. Got plenty of clearance.
