Cons:
truck is fairly stripped down to lose weight for the track so there are not many creature comforts. No heat or a/c, radio and wipers have been removed, no cruise control. Open areas in dash where heat/ air & radio controls were. Factory wiring harness was thinned out (not hacked) for just the bare necessities. The inner fender sheet metal for the front fenders was trimmed out, small spot of the hood structure was trimmed for clearance. Truck drives straight down the road but needs alignment (never done after coilover kit). The truck brakes good for manual brakes but I feel there may be a tiny air bubble trapped I haven’t been able to get out yet. Factory gauge cluster doesn’t work.
It does still have power steering, all lights work, horn works, turn signals.
The truck drives great around town, doesn’t run hot, gets thumbs up everywhere I go. Runs 3000 rpm at 62 mph so not exactly good for long distance highway driving. Never been on the track or a dyno but I would guess 450 hp and high 11’s if it would hook. Right now the timing is set conservative, 8-9 lbs of boost and runs on 93 octane. No hiccups or bucking or anything, no choke on the carb so you have to let it warm up a bit when cold.
Have tons of extras that could be negotiated. Extra procharger pullies, rear VAS FAB shock relocation kit with double adjustable Viking shocks, sbc parts, bunch of stock parts, extra wheels and tires, hub caps, etc.
There are many different directions you could go with this truck. Drive it as is or part out the SBC and Procharger stuff which would probably pay for an LS swap.
asking $19000 as is with all extras. OR $17,500 without the Procharger kit and you bring your own 4150 carburetor to bolt on. Located in Mishawaka, IN.
