So i spent the weeken out at rivershore resort, awesome trip. twice a year we rent out the whole place for our group of friends, we watched the race untill about 1 and all the girls were over it
. so one of my buddies reccomended the desert bar. i have never even heard of it and ive spent all my life in parker and havasu before buying a place in blythe. at first i thought my buddy was taking me into the desert to kill me. but this place was awesome! 5 to 6 miles into the desert and then BAM awesome bar, cheap drinks and live music. it was a great time and i recomend everybody make the trip at least once.

its a 98 gmc sierra reg. cab short bed with 33 inch tires and a 5.0 engine (305) and a heavily modifeid trans. its 235000 miles on it and it shows when i tow my boat. the truck im considering is one of those chevy colorado deals. i like the way they look and love the idea of 4 doors and good gas mileage as my truck gets 10-12 now. the only thing im worried about is when i hook a 18 foot miller with a bbf to it, will it be ok? i know i wont be able to run the hills at 70 but ive come to peace with that. im worried about getting it stopped safely and not killing the truck. any opinions or recomendatios are welcome and needed.
the cost of the exhaust i want is more than im willing to spend on the whole deal (4 to 6 thou) so im stayin wiht my freshend up 460. the problem is the wiring in my boat is beyond a nightmare. wires changes colors, end half way wire nuts. im not a wire a guy but im willing to work a trade for welding or machining service or just flat out pay to have it done. any recomendations on shops or anybody here have an intrest in it?
. anyways my question is i have a 68 miller with a BBF in it with berkley pump. ive had a blown 392 sitting in my garage for about 2 years now, its set up to run on pump gas, nothing to crazy, i want to put in the boat. however i cant find anybody who makes a bell housing and exhaust for this motor wihtout spending huge money
