Thumbs up Spitfire

Nice rig and kudos for hanging on to her until you could get her running .

I'd have loved to go to any H.S. event in a nice rig like this instead of my battered old VW Beetle .

I almost sold her but right as the guy got there I changed my mind. He understood. Accrual bought a fourwheeler I had in the weeds off me instead. He just wanted to fix something up with his boy. I can't wait I have two local clubs wanting me to pull their floats in the hoco parade. Word spreads A QUICK in a small town lol. Especially when ya can hear the truck a mile away.

FWIW ;

These i6 engines are very softly cammed so as long as you run the tailpipe to the back bumper you needn't use any muffler at all .

I remember freighting heavy loads up the hills in Beverly Hills and Brentwood, passing cops who never gave me a second glance .

Or, you can find re pop Smitty's glass packs that are 46" long, they'll give a nice deep rumble but not be too noisy .

This truck is far from a i6 lol. It's got a beefed up 350 that roast 33s like nothing. The open headers sing nice. But imma get some glasspacks or straight pipe it
