No we really mean it, the freaking BOMB baby! With a 125-gallon gas tank mounted right behind the cab, a shortened up chassis, and some nice cab patina, this truck could become Sputnik’s cousin with the right amount of rear impact. Other than the massive gas tank living behind the cab the other really interesting modification made here are the front fender exit exhausts. When we first saw the pipes sneaking out there our minds immediately went to thinking about turbochargers. There are no turbos, just a pair of shorty headers flipped upside down and some pipe bent to exit through the fenders. We have no idea where this would be considered legal exhaust.
The cab has been altered with a pair of bucket seats, fluffy carpet and sound deadening material. Since there is no exhaust running under the cab and the noise is being pumped out ahead of the passenger compartment, we’re think that the windows would be the sound deadening here. Windows down = loud. Windows up = loud but warmer.
The best line of the ad reads, “I tried to trim the fat off this girls so I removed the heater control unit, blower fan, and all unnecessary weight (now she’s lean and fast)”. Something tells us that this dude has a good sense of humor. Power comes from a small block, backed by a three-on the tree shifted manual transmission.

hey – give the dude a break – at least he put on a new radiator hose!
How long before he boils the master cylinder?
Seriously I have no idea what he was trying to accomplish here. I can sorta understand the huge gas tank for running a very long ways without having to stop but the rest of the truck is just idiotic!
I’m picturing a similar vision but less danger and just plain stupidity on this thing. 5.3L aluminum DOD Gen IV Chevy with a T56 or NV3500/4500 behind it. Rearrange the fuel tank so it’s better protected and put a fairing on the rear of the body with some redeeming amount of storage capacity in it. Lower it to get it down out of the wind and box in the radiator. OH and a waste tank since you know that you’re not stopping to take a leak with that size of a fuel tank.
The heater weighs about 30 pounds, saved a lot of weight and lost the ability to see through the windshield. Some people’s inbred children
you guys! that’s not a fuel tank, that’s a beer tank! doesn’t seem so bad anymore, now does it? i’d still hate to be his neighbors, on BOTH sides of the street
I do like the mudflaps, though
Looks like my redneck neighbors truck. Except this is a Chovie and my neighbors is a Phord.
