The kick down looks hacked up, and the tranny cross member is rough cut with a torch, and when we did our reserch everyone who has done an HPP truck said thats all normal as these trucks were modified while being built. This truck is a 2nd owner truck, and My uncle Chris's dad Gaylen worked at the dodge dealership in Torrington where the truck was bought new. He accually did the services on the truck, and When Ned died, he knew Chris wanted the truck, and stated in his will to see if Chris would be interested in buying it first before his widow tried to sell to anyone else. She called Chris, and we drove up from Nebraska at the time to buy it sight unseen.

It was known in town as being wicked fast, and Neds friends kid owned a NICE 383 Super Bee and this truck ate it alive. Also was known for outrunning a local 427 vette. The truck has 3.55 gears in it, and As far as we can tell it was born with 3.55s.
