"BAD HABIT" is a 67 A-100 chopped 8.5" and slammed 4" and is motivated by a 440 out of a 69 Road Runner with 727 TF trans. and 8.75" rear w/ 3.91 Sure-Grip. These pics are couple of years old. The "King Cab" pickup is/was a 68 A-108 Sportsman van that was built into what you see here. Lots of Rum and Cokes and this is what happens. The yellow A-100 is "Mellow Yellow" and was made into a Johnny Lightning diecast.

Nope...stock fenderwells, but the opening has been enlarged a bit. He's running a P275/55R15 BF Goodrich Drag Radial T/A on an 8" wheel in the rear.

That's cool. He even used a shorty van for that conversion.

Sorry, but the "conversion" was done with Photoshop, not a welder.
Yeah..dumb me. I looked at it a little closer and realized it wasn't the real thing. :crazy:
It looks good anyway. :D

Eventhough there were A-100 pickups, there was never a King Cab version...this one is home built using the rear of a pickup cab, bed rails and tailgate

I remember the day Coop brought his yellow Dodge out for the first time. I sure miss partying with him and Sluggo at Vans On The Run :)

He's still got it, just never brings it out any more. I was impressed to hear he had barnstormer at the nats this year.
