My Truck
From now on I'm going to be referring to my truck as she because I have named her Daisy with the help of one of the coolest people I know. She has a 350 small block in her backed with a turbo 350 transmission. The front axle is a 10 bolt eight lug. The rear axle is a 14 eight lug full floater I'm not sure what gears she is running like I said i got her at the end of last year and I haven't had the time to check. She has headers and dual exhaust ran from front all the way out the back. I'm not about to lie to you guys she was in rough shape when i got her the motor looked like Shreck throw up all over the motor, the wires are all hacked together i have no clue how it was even running. So last weekend March 10th 2012 Me my Dad (Richard Bernard Jr) and step Brother (Matthew Owens 11) Took out the hacked together wiring harness for the motor and lights, then we ran all new wires the right way through wire looms and plug everything the right way simple things like that.
Also when i got it the exhaust way falling off who ever ran it like this: headers there about 2 1/2 inch pipe and they cut off the collectors and welded pipe right to it witch was about the same thickness, then that to a 2 inch pipe to a little 10 series muffler to a 2 1/2 to a 3 inch the rest of the way to the back of the truck. It wouldn't be to bad but going from a 2 1/2 to a 2 restricts flow if it started small and worked it way up it would be better. They welded all the pipes together and held it up by welding the exhaust to the bottom of the floor broads under the cab and bed. this is a bad thing because when you hit the gas and go the motor tries to twist and torque when everything is welded solid there is no place to release that energy with out braking something, I've all ready had to reweld the exhaust up in the back because it broke thoughts welds holding it up, and after i fixed that it keeps blowing the header gasket causing and exhaust leak witch to me is a vary bad thing and vary annoying.
