1940 Willys Pickup

#1

Post by mopehead440 »

Gonna' post one more, because I promised 5speed, then I'll take a break for a while. This is a 40 Willys, with a 383 Stroker. Dynos at 565 HP on the ground, and is light and nibble down the road! Fun truck to show my Hiney; it's a ticket getter for sure-"Arrest Me Red".
