HellBoy - No Limit C10

[RobNoLimit]

No, not a build thread. It's already done. So this wiil be a driving thread. Full of useless information about changes, mistakes, upgrades, events, and fun.
The HellBoy was originally going to be called the Reaper, but once we painted it red, well, its not like that was the first change. It started life as a well used 3/4 ton longhorn (9 ft bed), it even had a lumber rack. And nobody could see what I did, even when I explained what I was going to do. - maybe that made things worse.
My last truck, the Silver Bullit 55 F100 was a blast, but times were changing. Goodguys made some rule changes that would put me running up against the big boys (I can't blame Goodguys, they had to). So i wanted to build something that would be competetive, in the shape of a truck. The basic plan was short, wide and light, well, at least it's wide. The wheelbase is 109", not as short as a Camaro or Mustang, and she's a middleweight 3150 lbs. (my goal was 2750) Our first outing in Del Mar was not so good. We built this in just over 90 days, and mostly after hours, until the last week or so, then it was 24/7. On the last day, thursday, Chad Reynolds was coming over. He needed a ride down to Del Mar, "sure, we'll be leaving around 6pm." OK, 8, or 10pm, midnight?, 2 am it is. Still had to go to my house, swap the truck for the motorhome, Wake up the wife (Tina) and drive to Del Mar (appx 2 1/2 hr) That was a long day. Then the problems showed up. Howlin' gears in the quickchange, I mean HOWLIN'. Springs too stiff, brakes not so good, driver too tired to care. But the writing was on the wall, No more Mr. nice guy.
