You won't see many trucks like this at your local cruise-in. Stuffed into the engine bay is a 354 Chrysler Industrial Hemi with a 3 speed automatic transmission.

It's in great shape and almost everything mechanical is new or refurbished. I have the title for it...won't be hard to register in your state like some hotrod projects.

I have original Engine & Transmission that will come with it (If you want them). 218 Flat 6 – 3 speed transmission. Was running when pulled…Carb needs a rebuild (it was flooding with gas).

Here's a list of everything upgraded/refreshed on the truck

Engine/Drivetrain:

354 Chrysler Industrial Hemi – Rebuilt locally – have receipts -

Cam - NOS Sig Erson cam for the 354 ( original p.n. RV-10-H). 0.415" lift, and advertised duration of 256 deg (208 @ 050).

4 barrel dual plan manifold with Edelbrock Thunder 650 carb (electric choke).

Desktop Dyno estimates that it puts out an estimated 240HP and 340Torque. I built this to be a good pulling truck...not a 0-60 track monster.

Aluminum Radiator with electric pusher fan installed.

MSD Ready-to-Run Distributor

Rebuilt TH350 Automatic 3 speed Transmission

All new brake components (rotors, drums, pads, calipers, hard lines and under-floor pedal assembly)

Front Disc Brakes - Rear Drums

Jeep Cherokee Rear Axle with 3.55 rear gears (matches the original axle width and has stronger gears to handle the Hemi)

New driveshaft and front leaf springs installed

New Spring Shackles and bushings all around

New shocks on all 4 corners

New Radial Tires (only about 1500 miles on the tires since I installed them)

Original steel rims and hubcaps

Other Upgrades:

Completely rewired the entire truck...used a Rebel Wire harness.

Classic Instrument Gauges – Hot Rod Series Speedo/Tach combo and 4 gauge combo (electronic and programmable speedometer)

Lokar Nostalgia Shifter ( for that floor mounted 4 speed shifter look)
