Thanks for the compliments. I've owned this truck since August 2010. It's my 2nd one, my first was a 82 K10 that I loved and always regretted selling. I was able to make a lot of improvements after returning from the desert.

Oh, I forgot to mention that she also has a summit racing ignition box and MSD Street fire coil under the hood as well. I'll take some more pics soon and get them posted.

Also forgot to mention she has a B&M Shift Improver Kit installed as well. Can't forget the tranny.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
