Jon Breem

Chevy CARBURETION; alcohol fuel injection system atop a 6-71 BDS blower HORSEPOWER; 600 TRANSMISSION; TH400 RUNNING GEAR; 2 1/2 ton military transfer case, 5 ton military axles SUSPENSION; front- 10 leaf packs and 6 Rough Country shocks, rear- 9 leaf packs and 8 Rough Country shocks FEATURES; centrally located cockpit with a heavy duty roll cage that has a wing on top TIRES; 66X43X25 inch Goodyear Terras HEIGHT; 11 feet WEIGHT; 10,000 lbs.

UPDATE  the truck is now in my front yard, I so far have repainted the axles, and frame, along with a few small other things. Im waiting to get a few parts for the hydrolic steering. I plan to fix the truck enough to do outdoor jambories, that way I don't have to have the 4wheel steer. I also got a new frame that came with the truck and plan to turn that into an indoor arena/competion truck. As of right now I do not have the rights to the name mad dog, I do not have a new name picked out yet. A little about me, I'm a recent grad of Ferris State University in MI., I have an As in applied science (Auto), and a Bachelors in Technical Eduaction, Im a Auto instructor at Southern Lakes Career Center in Fenton Mi, and I'm only 22. The main things that are slowing me down from copleteing these projects are lack of time and money, Andrew Michalik
