Wow! This is incredible. I’m a huge Tomac fan, definitely wasn’t expecting to see his truck on this channel but I’m all for it. Incredible build and video!

People drool over the 70’s C-10. To me the Apache is styling heaven for a pickup. This build has style to the max.

Badass truck. I love this guys enthusiasm for his own work. Few can appreciate what goes into a straight body and tight consistent gaps. It’s usually overlooked by everyone except people that does that type of work. Most people just see the flawless paint job and none of what it takes for the clear coat to take the credit.

Love the history, especially that Eli came home in the truck as a baby. Makes me wish I kept my Z 28 my son Levi came home in back in 1988. We’re big Eli fans and watch all his races! The old school gun rack is cool but would have liked the door wing windows in function. See you soon at A 1 Eli, we all missed you after last years injury. Superb work Gentleman! P.S. Eli’s race winning Yamaha is blue too.

My dad had a burgundy one with a white top and rear stripe on the bed. Small block 350 with Turbo 350 transmission and 4:11 gears. It was a beast in the 1/8th... freeway driving was another story😂😂

His other red 3/5 build has the same thing going. I'd cerakote all the grey you see in this build to contrast with the super shinny blue. Stunning truck regardless.

1/8" toe in is correct as far as I'm concerned. Straight axles especially. The 1/8" toe in will get you started at the very least. Great build, very nice truck and while I'm not a blue fan, this is very nice.

Mitch had to bring up the alternator. Lol. Good one! Love this truck and little touches like the turn signals wired to the headlamps. You even managed a tunnel blip before he takes it on the circuit and got the brakes diagnosed.
@timsilva1944 9 ай бұрын
Wow! Very nice. Clean and tastefully done. As a gear head, a mountain biker that's been riding since the '90s when John was killing it and then later got back into moto when Eli turned pro, I want to see ET's reaction to this beauty. The #3 Yamaha would look great in the back.

2 LSX 454 crate engines. 625hp, and 720hp LSX 454 R. That's the 625hp lsx 454. The 720 will have an R on the valve cover, came with a high rise intake manifold, carburetor, 13:1 compression that runs on race gas. That truck should be making no less than 540 to the wheels.
