Little Blue Truck goes BEEP BEEP BEEP.

My 3yo affectionately named our new shorty --Little Blue Truck-- after his favorite book.

We picked this one up a couple months back. Was originally a small block truck that got swapped over to a BBC. 468 with a 1850 Holly and 700r4. It has 3" stainless exhaust and sounds pretty tuff.

All I've done so far is swap over to an oem grill.

Very nice, and I agree the stock looks better.

Re: Little Blue Truck goes BEEP BEEP BEEP.

That's a great looking truck. I also like the factory grill quite a bit better. Do you have any specific plans for it or are you just taking it as it comes?

Re: Little Blue Truck goes BEEP BEEP BEEP.

I like the truck. Quite an unassuming little ride for rolling around with big block power. Looks good. I don't know if it's even from the same song but I have "the wheels on the bus go round and round" going round and round in my head now. So thanks.

It's already got a 3/5 drop that I'm real happy with. So not sure it even needs much else. I purposely bought this one more as a done driver which is kinda weird for me. I i didn't want to lose steam on my 51pu. Just little clean up stuff. And Ive gotta figure out why the Holley is sticking on high idle occasionally.

Would also like to figure out a better seat belt option for my kids. I guess on these trucks you can't pull the belts out all the way and manually lock them...

Hah no not the same, but you're welcome!

Ya I guess she is pretty much a sleeper. Unless its running, then there's no doubt!
