if you slightly touch the brakes or partially put on the parking brake both wheels will drive on a open diff. you learn these things when driving old tractors or pulling a boat up a wet boat ramp.
Dropping $15 k for 350hp worth of truck with a $5 k resale value seems a bit crazy unless you really love your old pickup and have a solid expendable income.
@Swampy Reality is nobody would build this truck outside of those who will use it as a means of generating income. This one was done because it was for the show that uses add revenue to profit. It's just absolutely ludicrous to drop that much for an underwhelming truck.

Bought a 2.5 inch cowl induction hood for $400, and found a full set of xd rockstar 18x9 5 and a set of Michelins for $450(steal of a deal) then came the motor... we started with a 4 bolt main gm goodwrench crate motor rated for 300hp out the box and cammed it with a summit 1785 race cam,edelbrock 1604 carburetor on top of an edelbrock performer dual plain intake and a pair of mid length headers and bolted it to a 700r4 with a stall converter. Just under $10k.
What manual transmission and differential oil does it take? I have a Chevrolet Cheyenne pickup year 1995, 305 tbi 5.0-liter 8-cylinder engine, 238 thousand kilometers and I don't have the vehicle manual, they are the same models from 1988 to 1995
New taillights seems like a waste of money. 5 minutes with some rubbing compound and a turtle wax shine would have brought those old lights back to new. I know I have done it many times to both headlights and tail lights and these lights were barely faded.
