1989 Chevy K3500 Pickup - 2007 Top Truck Challenge Competitor
Up front, the divorce-mounted NP205 transfer case spins a Houston Driveline driveshaft to turn the cogs in the 2 1/2-ton Rockwell axle. The frontend has been converted to full hydraulic steering with a custom drag link courtesy of Texas Auto Gear, and welded 6.72:1 gears inside the diff provide locking by Lincoln. The suspension is relatively basic (by TTC standards), a triangulated three-link/coil-spring arrangement running a single nitro-charged shock at each corner, and a custom 3-inch body provides added clearance in the wells. Sixteen-and-a-half inch steel Marsh racing rims and 46-inch Mickey Thompson 'Claws comprise rolling stock, and the standard-issue Rockwell pinion brake helps to slow down the big Chevy. We dig the custom tow hook welded onto the axlehousing too. View Related Article
