    Why?

    Those old chevy 350s (which is likely what it has) have plenty of low end power. The only issue is the gearing of the axles, but I suspect those are dana44s which can more the adequately handle something with that much rolling mass. It could also have a old strong chevy 10-bolt rear axle which also can handle turning those things easily.

    Not that I'd care to ever drive it, just stating that its easy with the right engine and drivetrain combo, even being unmodified.

    i just like that therre is no suspension whatsoever.
    the fabrication they did to allow for such an obomination
    involved nothing more than welding a bunch of steel so they woudl ahve clearance.

    no shocks, no springs.

    so gay

    thats the wrong and cheap way of doing it, the right way(which ive helped on) is to get an actual truck suspension & spindals then you extend and weld innew metal in the control arms and trailing arms.. ... ill try to find a pic od the car i helped work on


    EDIT: I found a pic, the car right next to it is a s-class benz just to give you an example of how high it is.. it is lifted 6inches and it has 26's on it

    Thats ridiculous its a waste. Cause he probably ended up payin around 8k to do all that or so, considering if those rims are any good im sure it was at least bout 4k or more for them. And to get all the fab work and new axles cause they usually by hummer axles and hook them up, (only now cause my friend tried to do it once). Waste of money.

    I'll give you money if you can find a set of new 26" Gianelle 5-holes with 305/30-26 Pirellis for less than $4000. I've never seen anyone get 26s for less than $6000.

    Without a doubt the most ridiculous waste of time and money to be posted in quite some time. Looks like shit, and undoubtedly drives like shit (if it drives at all). Easy to change the oil though What a dumbass....
