TALL truck... but, damn I like it.

It has to much lift but i love those tires! I had a friend with rockwells and 50 tractor tires that he brought up to the pipeline and he never broke anything on the axles. I never got a close up look at it but i know it had like 18" drop brakects, it was jimmyrigged but it worked. I went to a mudbog over the summer and there was a 92 F350, rockwells and it had 8 michelins on it, it was nuts. The only guy that made it through the pit owned the land, had a early 90s GMC 1ton with a 14b/d60 and 46" paddle tires with a 496BBC.

he does live in az, if it is the same guy that im thinking of then i went to high school with him. the truck (back in school) had like a 10 inch lift and 38's the last time i seen it.
 
i was just lookin around the site more, and i do know him. his mom and dad payed for that truck. and he does use it, only when az has some mud.
 
what is that

what kind of spring hangers are those in front of the rear springs it looks like its lifted the way I use to lift my models using the plastic trees the parts come on to drop the suspension. Kinda cool looking but lowering the spring hangers looks scary.:dunno:

that kid went to my high school, at one point it was on 35 inch tsl's with 10 inches of lift and a 3 inch body lift, he got hooked up on the tires so he ran them anyways.

looks like he has come a looooooooooooooooooong way though, he should be about 21 years old now, nice kid too.

not much, I drove my 75 around, the main grip I got were the tail lights being to high, I added a third brake light to the frame, dropped the truck some, and adjusted my head lights. Mud flaps dont get too much attention here, that truck how ever I would see it getting pulled over.

no bumper requirments, just hight, width, windshield, wipers, light hight front and rear, seat belts, horn and exaust.I drove my 75 around like shown for a few months, main grip was the busted windshiled, and the loud exaust, once and a while I got mentioned for mud flaps, and I had my head light hight checked...

Az is agreat place for 4 wheelers, I have no plans to drive the 75 on the road much anymore, but if I do I will just make shure to make the cops happy and have it street legal.:grin:
 
Call me negative to, but I would like to see what the rear suspension looks like. From the shadows it doesn't look as sturdy as the front.

I'm torn, half impressed someone has the stupiduty to build something like that. Half disgusted at the waist of good axles and tires.


:smirk:
 
Welcome to AZ boys:grin:. We have few rules. Mud flaps only on lifted pickup truck (not K5's burbs or jeeps ect), fenders are optional on every corner, you need one driverside headlight at night, one centered tail light in the rear, and now we need seat belts, a hood and a stupid plate light (new rules thanx to the !STUPID! ricers). As stated above winshields are not required, nor are doors, and a hood only has to be a liquid barrier (plywood suffices as does clear plexy glass). We still have laws allowing horse and buggy's to share the road way (minus freeways, not AZ highways). It is a great state to drive in:cool1:. Take a VW bug, baja it, heck tube a frame and drop in a mazda rotary engine with nos, call it a bug and get a historic vehicle plate.

We do get hassled from time to time, the east side of phoenix is way more up tight than the west. I haven't had a problem yet. I love it. A shop down the street from me mad a dodge that stood around 11+ feetat ride height on air bags that made it go up to 14+ feet (roof above the stop lights), it was a show rig to say the least.

Hell ya!! And Yeeeeee-Haaawww Y'all:saweet::woot::usaflag::usaflag:
 
Matt you are hilarious:haha:



yet I still see sheet metal, come on man, fire hole is begging for you to ditch it..
