A '77 F150 4X4 that started as a beater and then took on a life of it's own. The 472 turns the worked over C6 and NP205 then to the Detroit locked 4:11's turning the 35" X 12.5" Baja Claws. The twin 50lb nitrous bottles in the custom cradle have remote Cold Fusion bottle openers feeding a NOS plate jetted for 180hp, a video of the dyno pull: http://s64.photobucket.com/albums/h197/77F150/?action=view¤t=Dynowithmusic.flv
It has now become a street rod that does not fit in any normal category but is a blast to drive and beat on!

Truck is beautiful. I have 77' f-250 that needs complete restoration, has a lot of sentemental value but is in rough shape. Your truck is very nice. I',m surprised you don't have more power but that is one mean truck.
