The engine like the rest of the truck is old school cool. 235 out of a 1958 car. freshened up 30,000 mile motor with a rebuilthead and hardened seals for unleaded fuel, runs strong. hei ignition, mini gear reduction. starter,alternator conversion, aluminum radiator, headers, glass bowl fuel pump and Clifford aluminum intake and dual Weber Carburetors. The carbs aren't quite dialed in has a off idle stumble.
Wheels and tires are also new from wheel vintiques, slight rub on the front if you turn to sharp mostly when backing up
Headlights tailights parking lights are all LED. You can see at night.
You kind of get the idea by now pretty much everything is new, she drives good and is trustworthy. Gas mileage is great, sounds better than a Harley. I was after old school and simple and dependable she's no LS hotrod if that's what your after.
