BigBrother-84 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Hi there! I'll let the administrators precise you some little things (signature, map, etc), but I suppose "thirsty" stands for the truck and not for the owner? Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Welcome! Glad you joined. But I want to see pics of that rig. You might want to read up on how to post pics at Bullnose Forum/Forum FAQs though as it isn't straightforward. And while we are looking at other pages, we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map) and can add you with a city. A 10' camper is a load, so I understand the need for the air springs. And adding the 18' boat means that 460 is working. No wonder it is thirsty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom cam from Scotty the max porter. Recurved distributor from scotty . Harland sharp rockers . 8qt oil pan . Holley 750 carb with eddlebrock rpm intake. About 9.8:1 compression. Pulls the load excellent. Like it’s not even there . With out the camper and boat , the truck is a rocket. I had the c6 transmission built a few years back for extreme use . Shifts Strong .

I had one with a wet bath, glad there wasn't a generator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
