Sounds like the other guy did a tasteful build. Big question is, did he then hammer the hell out of it, or did he just drive it "normal" knowing that he had a big hammer at his disposal? The rear axle might need attention.

I agree. Sounds like a very well built truck! The only thing I would worry about is the front end and maybe some body rot.

not a big fan of the 370s unless they were bought with the correct spray pattern. real hot and smokey injectors.

Should be well over 400hp. with just free mods you can make 400hp if you get your tuning really good and thats on an hx35.
