Road Kill Muscle Truck

[1BAD92LX]

So I watch a lot of the Motortrend channel. The Road Kill muscle trucks they have interest me greatly. The idea of an old kinda beat up truck with big power to beat on and not care would be awesome.
So what would you build? Early 90's f150 with a 460? Early Dakota with a 440? Or super over done Chev with a LS? Thinking cheaper the better obviously. Maybe I'm just trying to fit in up here finally.

I'd build a 90s chevy 1500 with an LS & some boost!

I've always loved the look of those trucks & I personally feel, they will be the next BIG classic pick up to have, even tho they never really died off.....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200915/204c5de183824bded4771e926878f568.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200915/e209785ffac189ee0d7a19ab799f2e64.jpg

To stay on the cheap theme, I'd do a early/mid 70's F100 with a 460 torque monster

I had a 74 F100 4x4 with a 390 4sp and 410 gears. It had no top end but it surprised a few light to light.

Four wheel smoke shows were fun too.

Ah, to be 18 again.

I think I’d do a full size bronco.
But I like to be different.

Plus one on that. Or an S10 with a 6.0 and big turbo.

[RedSN]

You had me at 440.

[Zippy]

LS powered one of these please.

I had a ‘85 S10 years ago (like 20 years ago, before LS swaps were a thing) with plans to put a 350 in it. It was way to rusted out, which I think all S10’s would be by now.
Likely would be going with a full size truck. 460 Ford seems to be the easiest engine to find

[1BAD92LX]

I like what Uncle Buck is thinking.
440 would be nice but finding a cheap transmission for it is proving difficult

uh wat? lol

[needboost]

I'd do one of these with a gen 2 or 3 COYOTE with an auto 6 or 10 speed if I could, just a well setup N/A motor... 1992 - 1996 F-150 Flareside 2WD.....

21601

Or I'd do the same to this gen of F-150 Stepside....

It never ends up being cheap when you do it right.

Love a shorty 2wd Ram lowered.

You've never watched an episode of Road Kill then lol.

[1BAD92LX]

Its gotta be on the CHEAP!!!
I'm thinking 91-96 f150 2wd (reg cab short box would be nice), 460 (possible edelbrock HCI with carb), C6 trans and a good locking diff. More used parts the better lol

[bluetoy]

Not really a roadkill truck but...

My father had these 70's F150 for his business, I learnt to drive in a red 4x4...

I would get another Dakota in a heart beat and drop in a 5.7/6.1 Hemi with a 6 spd.

Link not working for me.

[fast Ed]

A friend with a shop in Bolton who's been playing with Fords mostly for years, is telling me that we need to do a Coyote swap in my 92 F-150. Would be way quicker of course, and probably twice as good for fuel mileage too! LOL

[1BAD92LX]

I agree but sounds like big $$. Does he have any big block stuff that he doesn’t need?
Going for “no replacement for displacement “ here

[fast Ed]

He probably has some 460 stuff around. If you get in to a project let me know and I can check with him. Agreed on the Coyote, as far as price tag goes I'd have to budget at least $10K I figure.

[ZR]

Late model truck Hemi 8 spd for me please.

i heard used motors are a bad deal

[ZR]

Always thought of the 460 as a bit of a boat anchor, kinda like the 390 (unless modd'd).

[1BAD92LX]

Cylinder heads are the cork I’ve read. Easy 500+hp with HCI and a carb.

[1BAD92LX]

Yes that was painful. This one is not nearly as expensive.
