so here is another reason to show all sides of the truck pleasant surprise to see new chassis and pipe

ok upon inspection,
And after stripping it down, think it was unused when it got the chassis swap .
the trans is smooth and shows no wear on the out drives, brake disk is oem and unworn.
nice pile of hop ups !i think the tecna buckels are late , as they are alot thicker in the shaft compared to my green T buckles .
So they will be swapped to my runner :wink:
The rpm bulkhead was a nice surprise as i just got another nip .
new A/L cranks the ones with the mega thick bar .
the motor was full of fuel so i figure hydro-lock after a clean up looks in great condition ,tight and with good compression plus with the MIP pipe ,hitec servo think i like recycling LOL

You may want to clean up that original manifold or you'll juice your servo and bellcrank with fuel and oil. You might be able to re-direct the exhaust out the side, but I'm not sure it wouldn't change performance. Great GT though! 8)

+1 on both counts. Thr truck looks great but that could get messy/expensive real fast.
