who installed the engine? Slee?
Have been looking for an 80 to drop a 350 in. Might should buy yours. You are in Idaho??

What year is it? Also wondering how it is on the highway with those swampers.
Could it be driven to Texas. Might be spooky.

It is a 1991. The engine is a 95 Chevrolet Factory 350 with Throttle Body injection. The conversion was done a long time ago. A friend of mine brought it to Idaho when he moved here from Colorado about 15 years ago. I'm older and at my age I would not drive it from Idaho to Texas on the Swampers. I might drive it with a good set of radials. I think my friend originally drove it out from Colorado to Idaho, but it was 37" MTRs back then. The Swampers are sort of unpredictable. When they get warmed up they ride decent. I've felt completely safe at 65mph and then 20 minutes later the road surface changes and I don't feel safe at 65mph anymore. It grabs in the ruts on the road. I never bought it with any intention of driving on the road but I've been driving it to work quite a bit the last few weeks. It isn't bad at slower speeds. The brakes are great on this truck. They are better than my 94 80 on 35s.

Or if you had another Hurricane you could be the hero

Put 35s on it. 65-70mph was OK. 82 was sketchy but we had high winds. The nasty vibrations at speed are definitely the swampers. But honestly I like the ride and howl of the swappers better. It also seems more stable.

It is located in SLC until this weekend if someone down that way wants to take a peek.

 

[CreeperSleeper]

Yep, still want it...

It would be a great rig for that. It isn't a good highway rig with these tires. It isn't too bad with smaller radials. But anything more than 80 miles on the highway would be too much labor. It just isn't fun to drive on the highway. Off road, it is a workhorse.

Pm sent!

 

[CreeperSleeper]

Bump for a really cool 80!

BTW I'm down to $7500 now. I'd like for it to find a new home. I need to thin the heard. I'm way over what I need. I have 9 insured Cruisers right now and a few other projects. All the projects must go and I need to sell a few of the runners too.
