Some "Muscle Trucks" that might be cool....

If you want to go fast, but occasionally need to haul or tow stuff, there's a lot of cool trucks that make great muscle machines. Here's some of my favorites that can be bought reasonably. #1. 1967-79 Chevy / GMC 2wd 1/2 ton. Small-block versions can be made to run, but the ones to look for are 396 models- ( '67-72 ) and 454 models ( '73-79 ). There is a ton of suspension and brake upgrades, and nothing makes more power for less money than a big-block Chevy. # 2. 1972-78 Dodge 2wd 1/2 ton. The ones to look for are the 400 snd 440 versions. Not as much speed equipment available as the Chevys, but a 440 V8 in a 3900 lb machine is a potent ride whether it's a '70 Road Runner or a '78 Stepside. The '78-79 Li'l Red Express models have a "Cult" following, but their pricier and only have a 360 under the hood. # 3. 1967-79 Ford F100 / F150. The ones to look for are the 390 models ( '67-72 ) and 460 models ( '73-79 ). # 4. 1989-93 Chevy SS454. These had a sinister black paint job,fat tires on chrome wheels and a 454 backed by a TH400 or a 700R4 and 3.73:1 or 4.10:1 gears. Dynamite if you can find one. # 5. 1992-95 Ford Lightning. These had a special lowered suspension, a hotted up 351W and cool monochromatic paint. These have a ton of aftermarket equipment available. # 6. 1998-2003 Dodge Dakota R/T. Mother Mopar stuffed a 360 V8 in the lightweight Dakota pickup, gave it a lowered suspension, fat 17" tires and wheels and a 3.92:1 posi rear. 0-60 in six seconds flat and the 1/4 in the high 14s made these way cool. # 7. 1997-2003 Ford Lightning / Harley Davidson F150. These had cool graphics, special seats, lowered suspesnions and 18" or 20" wheels and a snarling 380 hp Supercharged 5.4 liter V8. Jules' Wallet that can haul plywood. Any of these are a great way to go fast and have some utility. Mastermind
