1977 Chevy Luv, best truck ever. They had like 394 hp and 635.21ft. lbs. torque from the factory. They'd run 8.60's at 150mph + in the 1/4, got 28 mpg in town and 32 on the highway and had windsheild wipers. I had a buddy that put chrome valve covers on his along with some neon lights under it and he picked up like 47 hp.
They were bad azz.
You are killing me Matt....... Thats funny as h#ll , I dont care who you are!!!

Yea I put chrome valve stem covers on my GMC and it went from a 4x2 to a 4x4. You have to use the quality chrome valve stem cover though.

Don't even get me started on the Subaru Brat. Baddest truck ever. I've got one with a goose neck hitch in it. I use it to pull my tri-axle 42' double stack with living quarters from here to Sand Mountain and Glamis 2-3 times each year. I installed a K&N filter and a cell phone antenna and it made all the difference in the world. I can pull my trailer with all the goodies in it, plus three people up front and two in the jump seats at 75 mph and still get 18mph. Of course, that's pulling in over drive. Every now and then on really steep mountains I have to shift into 4th.

ALL of you are CLOWNS!! What do you think of my truck ?? Did i get a deal or not ? I will be looking for exhaust , tuner , pillar triple guage mount, gauges, intake kit ....has anyone done the zoodad mod ? i want a mild tune ...maybe a good tow tune and a 80hp tune
truck looks great. I have done the zoodad mod. also the get the AFI Plug and take out the heater, restriction on the intake. I bought my gauges, a-pillar, AFI plug, etc. from ITP Diesel. Dennis was great to work with, got a great deal and shipped out quick. I also used DP Tuner (Jody Tipton), dp-tuner.com. You can check many websites, he is one of the best out there. Also great to work with, tuner is freaking awesome, actually sent me an updated cable, because apparently they were having trouble with the ribbon cable he was using, free of charge, just showed up in the mail one day, that is what kind of guy he is. Also installed a Tugger Transmission shift kit, from Transmission USA down in south florida. When you are serious about buying the stuff, shot me a PM and I will get you all the contact information, if you can't find it. I have had everything installed in my truck for over a year and 20,000 miles with no problems. Pulls anything I want. The only other thing I need to do is the ATS ported turbo housing to get rid of turbo stall, and lower EGT's when pulling a really heavy load. That is 450 dollars and I don't want to spend the money right now, so I just regulate the throttle to eliminate both for now. Good luck, and you will enjoy the truck. Oh, keep a front wheel bearing insite or atleast $300, because they can go out anytime, and you won't get far without changing it. I purchased mine from Ford for like $275 and changed them myself. That is the only complaint I have about the truck.
