Sharp, clean truck!  Great color!  Like the wheels.

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!!!

Thanks guys!! Its a project in the works but nearing completion.  I have a rollbar I am going to sandblast and mount.  Want to get a set of KC's for it...  Window tint, and maybe some grill work...I have a rear slider but I'm a little nervous about yanking a window. I have to figure out the best way to get a new one in there and make sure I get a good seal.  Its a standard small block with an RV cam, roller rockers, stock carbs, and ignition.  Magnaflow true dual catbacks and hedmann headers.  I love it but wish it had a little more power.  Its got a ton of torque, but not much in the way of giddy-up...

If there 3.08 thats why the motor feels "slugish"
