It fits all the critera except it is not a 40 but it is topless.
Yes, also built by Profitts and has Rockwells. I'm sure that thing will ride terrible on the street with air bags.

Price certainly will not be less than 20K.

No way in hell that drivetrain works with that tall, stock wheelbase and auto tranny.

This was one we checked into. Charles, if it's red, you are correct. I couldn't decide if it was orange though? Any who, good looking truck but there's discussion of how tall it is being an issue.
 
That suspension is jacked. Looks like SOA using lift springs to boot. Look at that shackle angle on the rear with the hard top on! Must ride pretty bad. Depending on the quality of the fab work that was done, it could be an easy and cheap fix. Some stock springs should drop that ride height back down and a little fab work to stretch the wheelbase and adjust the ride height even more.

That said, it would have to be great in every other way to be worth anything like that price to me.

Hang on a freakin minute!

CLC bylaws clearly state that you must build your 40. No 40 can be bought/imported that exceeds the current capabilities of every single other 40 in the club. Ha!

i guess my membership was short lived. :o

You're grandfathered in!
 
Looks pretty good to me sans axles.

FWIW, you may be able to part out the axles and be set on putting in what you want. ARBs ain't cheap :eek:

???????? Regearing and installing ARB locker in a GM 10 bolt. Why?????

5.38 ring/pinion on 35" tires = screaming engine on highway.

I never said that I would buy anything out of that axle, but there are people that do :hillbilly:
