All work done by kuntz bros down in georgia.

This is a turnkey runner/driver, built for highway driving. everything has been taken care of. The truck makes 522hp/1010tq to the crank, 455/960 to the wheels. Everything else is built to reliably support that power level. You want the dyno sheet, I got it. It's fast. Most of the build sheet is attached in the photos. The truck has about 67k on it as it sits.
Started life as a sbc utility truck in Alabama. Guy bought it off the town with 50k miles on it, brought it up to Warner Robbins Georgia. I bought it with a somewhat botched 4bt swap mated to a muncie 465. Now we are here
6BT/mildly built NV4500, 550HP Valair clutch. 3.30 14 bolt rear end. One piece driveshaft. Studs, springs, gauges, tabs, seals, 5th gear fixes all done. 4k gov spring, 5x0.12's, AFC live, stock appearing HX40 hybrid. 3.5 exhaust all the way back, heat wrapped downpipe, v bands throughout. HUGE 454 radiator with dual electric fans. Real roomy in there. Almost every part from the intercooler back to the driveshaft is off the shelf Dodge. Anything else is off the shelf Chevy.
As mentioned before, the build sheet is attached in photos. I'm happy to take more photos of whatever it is you are interested in seeing.
Things not mentioned on the build sheet include moog front end, front/rear brakes, brand new firestone transforces, new window/door seals/handles/seat/dash/carpet etc. got a big old binder of receipts. He loved LMC truck. The interior is 99% perfect.
The truck is in Brooklyn for half the year with me, and as a result there is a door ding or two. At a certain point, you have to stop caring. Got stuck behind a triaxle and got a nice rock chip in the windshield. Glass still original so I have yet to change it. The cluster was swapped to diesel when the 4bt went in, and it broke during the 6bt swap. I have fuel logs since I bought the truck. Counting the time without a working odo, i have put about 12k on the truck, and about 5500mi on the current setup. With the tall rear end, it pulls down about 25mpg consistently, about 22 mixed driving. It will run at 80mph all day. Massive radiator and dual fans keep everything in check.
