JOHN?S MUD SLURPIN? CHEVY Hi! I?m really excited to send this picture to your magazine of my 1985 Chevy 1/2-ton. I built this truck in 2003. it has a gear ratio of 6.72 with a 400 small block built up with flat top pistons, 63cc double hump heads, 2.02 valves, with a 292 Comp cam and a Edelbrock air gap intake. I put a SM 465 transmission in it. It sits on a 19? lift with 2 1/2 ton Rockwell?s and 51? tractor tires. I won twice a year or so ago in the Open Class at the mud bogs. My truck says Fish Creek Off-Road on it but I call her Gertrude. When I take Gertrude out people just stare as I cut her lose!!

Dan like?s to show off a lot and see the mud fly?n, but in this picture as you can see, he got more than he bargained for, lol. But he rode it out with a nice recovery. Dan bought this Wrangler this year but is thinking of building some type of Ford next year... Get-R-Done!! Pammy Howard p 8
