Starting the week with this ‘83 WB Ute. 5.7 litre Chev, 4L65 auto and Borg-Warner disc brake rear. A strong combo with good hp at the wheels but a sleeper appearance.

Nothing for you street machine guys again! All my work has been commercial lately. Here’s a nice Hiab installation on a Ford Ranger. Fold up legs to improve departure angle and also not obscure rear radar. More to think about these days!
