now I have not wheeled this thing yet.... hopefully this weekend I will and will be sure to get some video and pics of it.
But I have started this beast and let me tell you this thing is seriously LOUD with those straight pipe stacks and the 350, about 2min after firing her up I already had a complaint from the neighbours and I live in a pretty bad neighbourhood.
Also later that night I pulled her back into my drive way then gave her a bit of gas before turning her off and there were 4-5" flames coming out of the stacks :)
But yea still have some stuff to do to her before she gets wheeled....

Stuff already done:
New battery, posts, and electrical connectors cleaned.
New air cleaner put on the carb... last owner didnt have one and used a plastic bag while storing it....
Replaced leaky oil pan.
oil and filter changed

Stuff to be done:
grease it up.
weld on tow bar tabs
tune it up(new plugs, cap/rotor/wires, fix the timing)

and thats all I want to get done before this weekend... Next week will also be a busy one because there
sure is alot of attention this thing needs.

oh yea almost forgot i get a shifter knob for my hurst tcase shifter tommorrow... was going to go with the pistol grip one but too pricey so just went with a T grip for half the cost.

Also stuff to do next week:
Get some seatbelts put in it!(5 point harness)
cut off and foam the tips to screws sticking through the roof just over my head(hillbilly washer fluid line brackets, goes right over the cab).
wire up the wiper motor
wire up the washer pump
wire up the guages
wire up the trans cooler fans

In the future mods:
New leaf springs and shocks all the way around, current leafs are worthless dont flex at all(my uncle 380lbs and myself 270lbs were in the thing rocking it and it wasnt budging at all). The current setup is stiff leafs that are straight across no arc at all and they are spring over axle and the front even has a 2" steel spacer ontop of the axle. The fix is going to get some new leafs made and arced remove the 2" space and possibly raise it 2" in the front to get some flex in the rear i plan on raising it 3-4" and putting the spring under the axle to get more flex and some strength back.
Cut some of the bed off in the rear and "bob tail" it so it can flex without binding and make it easier to wheel in tight trails. also cut some of the front fenders a bit too so it wont bind with tires.
Put a roll bar on the bed area to protect the fuel cell, rad and other stuff back there then create a canvas cover for it.
Replace old bucket style racing seats with newer ones that have head support.
Wire up CB Radio.
Get some 38.5" boggers for it that i can interchange with the H1.
get some offroad lights
wire up stock lights
and I believe that is all for now hopefully will have most of it done by next year.

sold it to a close friend... I only wheeled it once and had $800 into it and sold it for $550 so took a $250 loss and the friend was there the one and only time i wheeled it hah! but oh well the new rig only cost $1250(but i got like $400 more into it already with new battery, oilpan, gasket, tuneup kit, shifter knob) but with the new toy i dont feel guilty in spending $$$ on it cuz i know it will last unlike the Heep errr i mean Jeep :P

new air breather and yes again it was chrome but it was the 2nd cheapest i found the other one would let rain/mud in when hood is off and that is what i was trying to prevent...
Also new spark plugs and wires and old spark plugs.

At first when reading the description of the truck I thought "oh cool"

Then I actually saw the truck and came all over myself.

But as for this flaming thing
