I have a friend and customer who is trying to get his rig into the tough truck challenge.Last year he missed by only a few votes and this year we would like to see him get his shot. So if you could vote for him It would be great. You can vote I believe at 4 wheeler mag on line or pick up the magazine and vote that way. you can even have your friends vote!! here's his info and thanks !!!
#44 John Retzloff, Covelo, California
1977 GMC K-15
Approach and departure angles are not a big concern for this rig, and we're always impressed with an owner who buys a set of 53-inch government surplus tires to run on his rig. Perhaps readers will reward him for his selfless act of patriotism (helping to pay down the deficit, ya see)-and besides, we've never seen these particular treads at Hollister before.
Engine: Propane-injected 454ci Chevy V-8
Transmission: GM SM465 manual
Transfer case: Custom doubled NP205s
Axles, f/r: Dana 60, relocated 5 inches forward/GM 14-bolt
Traction aids, f/r: Ox Locker/Detroit Locker
Ratio: 4.88:1
Suspension, f/r: 53-in springs, overload leaf/63-in springs, overload leaf, dropped spring hangers
Tires: 53x16R20 government-surplus Goodyear
Special features: Warn 9500ti winch, PSC hydro steering, WFO Concepts Hy-Steer, ORD steering box, bed narrowed to 48 inches, dual; front receiver hitches
here's a link to a picture of the truck ,check out the front licence plate frame !
