^^ Makes e miss my banana boat. lol. Ugly yellow with twin tanks and a 390. Only 2 problems I had with it were the rear end locking up and a leak around the big seal on the transmission. Damn thing was bulletproof though. Ran it out of oil for a week and it kept on going. (1st truck at age 14, didn't know whatIwas doing haha)

My Buddy spun a bearing in his 390 and he was able to drive it back while pulling the Chevy that had blown up at the same time

I think before I sold mine to an old farmer it was constantly running on 6 instead of 8. Still a strong motor. I saw the poor thing in a junk yard a few years later. I knew it was mine from the bullet dent in the rear bumber. Even after they crushed it, that back bumber was as straight as new. lol.

Nice I want to get a highboy and put a cat diesel in it

That would be cool. I'm an International (7.3T) guy myself. But the parts get really expensive when you start upgrading. Cat and Cummins are more "popular" for trucks nowadays. At least the big trucks. And they seem to have cheaper after market parts since they have a simpler fuel system.

That would be awesome

I am too but id like a little more power than a 7.3 and I'm not doing Cummins because everyone does that

I agree, I don't like doing the same thing as everybody else. If I had the money I would get the older 7.3 non-turbo and put either a blower set up or something else. It could be done, but the only real reason is because there aren't many if any at all who have.

I know that there aren't and I know one engine I would never waste my time on and that would be Detroit at least the 2 cycles
