What suprised me about those pictures is I remember going to truck shows in the early 90s and then the rules would not allow those types of modifications to the steering. There was a guy w/ a 302 powered samarai and he had to make the pitman arm to clear the lift, and he was disqualified because of that. I guess the rules have changed. Side bar: I won the ugliest truck competion that year w/ a 76 Scout II.
