Welcome to my Domain, Here we have my newly acquired "BossHogg".

It's a 97 with 62,000 original miles, A older gentalman bought and drove it off the showroom floor and straight to a speed shop. There it was transformed from a stock V6 powered truck to a lowered street screaming BIG block. It sports a 502 Crate engine with a 5 spd. slushbox and all the comfort options as well.

The front is lowered with Belltech 2" drop spindles and 2" drop springs, The rear is a Belltech 6" flip kit with C-notch and Auburn posi unit with Lakewood traction bars to glue it to the pavement.

 

Sorry for no pictures of the engine compartment. I will be adding more as I get everything cleaned back up to show quality.

Thanks for Looking and stay tuned for more updates !!!

Took the Boss to it's first show last weekend (8-1), Didn't win anything but had a great time showing it off and talking hot rods with others. Here's a couple shots from there;

Well, We have some updated pictures.....I was at a car show 3-28 and had a gust of wind stand the hood straight up putting the scoop into the windshield.

What a bummer that was, Here is my fix for the stupid prop rod and to assure the scoop NEVER see's the windshield again.

Awesome machine you got there. I'm a firm believer in keepin those engines clean. Man that is sweet! My truck is 10 years older than yours and it almost looks like a time jump. I never saw that coming. I haven't taken much of a liking to the newer GMC trucks. But they do look better than the Chevy's. Keep on keepin it clean!!!

Thanks Nick ! Future ? Hmmm, Just playin it by ear for now. It's just another lowered truck until I raise the hood. So, I've been working on the under hood bling factor. Looked at roll pans and front bumper covers but the chrome is flawless so undecided on them right now. Aside from that, Just take it on cruise-ins and show it off !!!
