Actualy none... The short storie is, truck has been done for a while but the motor is just being re-assembled. Most of my friends/customers, well actualy ALL my friends/customers have been riding me to get it done, but working 50ish hrs at primary job and the rest of my time in the shop dosent leave much time for my stuff. I am currently trying to assemble the motor but have run into the issue of poor workmanship by the machine shop that I used. That s why nothing (of mine) gets done around here. When I let others do work for me I usaly get screw'd. So all that being said I have every intention of being out in the spring de-bugging and by late summer hitting the events.
The package I have put together should run mid 7's on set on limp, the motor combiation made 2900+ HP but I plan to run thicker head gaskets (.090) to lower the comp ratio to 10.75, only a Mallaroy MagIII and a Bird catcher injector to reduce the HP to an estimated 1800-2100. (525ci/Veney heads/Kuhl 1471, API 2spd trans w/lock up converter.) if all goes well we will start pushing towords the 6's as we progress. The original intent of the truck was to run mid 7's but we all know how that goes.
Now that YOU  made me put this in print I will have to live up to it - NO Excuses - I'll keep you posted.

Thanks! The wheels are Eagle alloys that I got on another truck, sizes are 15x10 rear with 275/60 r15 tires, fronts are 14x6's with 205/60 r14's...if I can find some 15x6's or 7's to match, I would much rather have them on the front, but it sure does turn quick with the 14's!...I do have some 15x5 centerlines however, I am afrid they may be just a lil skinnier than needed to be safe...I do use it as a truck! And yes we have had a wetter than normal winter here this year...the snow that the pic was taken in was what was left of a 14 in snow.... O.G.

Here's my 1977 Warlock truck. Have owned it for 20+ years. Took stripes off years ago and pro-streeted it when it was popular back in the early 90's. Has 440, 727, 4.10 Dana. Used to haul racecar with it. Hasn't been driven much lately, but is a good old truck. 1st time to track took 3rd place in Pro class.

I bought this '68 D100 back in August 2006 and have been working it (slowly!) ever since. It is a custom cab and has the 383, automatic, power steering, and air conditioning. I need to find the evaporator, but the other components are still mounted. (Anybody got an original a/c system for a '68 you'd want to sell?).
The truck runs pretty well, and I'm looking forward to using it as my weekend driver once I get a few little problems taken care of. The body isn't rusty, but it was hit in the left rear, which will take some panel beating.
Overall, a pretty nice old truck that's a lot of fun.
