Jeff Dodge is the owner of this "Bright
Yellow" 73' shortbed. Jeff bought his truck seven years ago and has been
modifying it since day one. It has a rebuilt 350 that's been punched out .030 over,
stuffed with a Crane cam, topped with an Edelbrock Air Gap intake and Holley 750 carb, is
vented through Hooker headers, and is ignited by an HEI ignition. The mighty mouse
has pushed the truck to a best time of 14.6 @ 93 MPH in the 1/4 mile. Underneath the
truck has been dropped 4" on each end thanks to Bell Tech spindles, springs, and
shackles. To cushion the ride Jeff has installed Bell Tech shocks on all four
corners and the front end received a PST polygraphite kit. The inside features a
40/20/40 split seat, Auto-meter gauges, lighted rear view mirror, and Grant steering
wheel. What you see on the outside is a smooth look created by a combination of
shaved emblems, mirrors, trim, tailgate handle, and a cowl induction hood. After it
was smoothed, the exterior was covered in "Ford Bright Yellow" paint. Jeff
is currently in the process of doing a frame-off restification. The frame has just
been finished and the future plans call for a 383 stroker, overdrive tranny, shaved stake
pockets, cargo lights, and new paint. Thanks for the pictures Jeff. Good luck
with the project!
Michael Monroe
of Florida is the proud owner of this 1986 Scottsdale. Michael bought the truck in
January of 2001, and has since redone just about everything on the truck. Michael's
quick work has transformed the originally copper and tan tire truck into the shiny pearl
white masterpiece you see here. The exterior modifications aside from new paint
include a 10" drop rear bumper, Tuffliner Bedliner, chrome grille, new windshield and
vent window, and American Racing "Atlas" wheels spinning 275-60-15 tires.
Moving to the interior you'll find that the dash, door panels, bench seat, visors, and
kick panels have been covered in grey pearl vinyl and black and grey marble tweed.
To make driving his ride more enjoyable, Michael installed a Rockford-Fosgate CD player, 2
MTX amps, 2 Memphis 6 1/2" speakers in the doors, 4 Aria 5 1/4" speakers in the
back panel, and 1 Bostwick 12" sub behind the seat. Under the pearly white hood
you'll find the original 186,000 mile 305. Of course it's been treated to a few
goodies including turbo mufflers and an Edelbrock 600 cfm carb. Thanks for the
pictures Michael.
Tom S. is the
owner of this 1987 R-10 shortbed. He has owned his truck since 1995 and
has added a chrome grille, aluminum wheels, sunroof and smooth chrome rear bumper.
Tom also stated, "I'm responsible for everything but the stripes." (He
must not be to fond of them!) The 87' is powered by the original 350 EFI that,
according to Tom, still runs great. Thanks for the picture Tom.
Bennie Necaise
of Tebbetts, Missouri is the proud owner of this 1973 Chevy Cheyenne 1/2 ton.
Bennie's Cheyenne is powered by a 350 crate motor that has been topped with an Edelbrock
Performer Intake and a Holley 650. The exterior mods include new fenders and new
blue paint. Underneath the suspension has been given 6" of lift to make room
for American Racing Tailgunner wheels surrounded by 35" Wild Country tires.
Thanks for the picture Bennie.
Doug
Hewer of Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada sent us this picture of his 1987 Blazer.
Doug's Blazer features the classic 350/350 combination with an NP208 transfer case sending
power to the 31x10.5" Michelins on both axels. On the inside Doug has updated his
Blazer with a CD player and two 15" subs. Thanks for the picture Doug.
