"Grand Prix"
While bird-doggin for trucks one day we spotted this
big 76 half ton short-bed justa sittin. After a little detective
work we discovered that it was owned by Mike VanNess of Brazil, Indiana.
This truck is yet another, "daily driver", and ya know I wouldn't have
it any other way. Hoosiers are the most notorious wheelers in America
and they take their trucks seriously. Mike never leaves home without
it. He tells stories of rompin in the corn feild and launchin the
rig sky high on the day of purchase. He had just replaced both driveshafts
before we caught him, lucky for us. The 40 inch, discontinued, Grand
Prix's are churned thanks to a four speed bulldog tranny and NP 205 T-case,
nestled against a mild 350 SB. 10 inches of lift are achieved thanks
to a 6 inch Rancho and a four inch body lift. Keep on tearin up that
beautiful rig Mike. Thanks.
