Well, as far as specs go:

1985 k20 sitting on 33/12.510/16.5's
3 " blocks in the rear
2" leafs up front (gives it a slightly raked stance)

Motor: 355 SBC
Vortec heads
small .460 lift cam
forged speed pro .030 over flattops
stock rods and crank
600cfm holley
LT Headers straight back to 40 series flows then dumped


Dad Bought it new and it was my first truck. I typed up the history of it it on here somewhere. Thats about it that I can think of...

no offense taken...everybody likes what they like. I dont know...honestly lol. I just like the way it looks. Maybe looks a little more aggressive? i dunno. Its not THAT much of a rake, 1 inch from one end to the other doesnt add up to much. Just my .02 cents i guess lol

im hopin my truck will turn out as good as these ones have, maintenence man did you have any problems with the black? like any imperfections,  I dont know how much a silver or dark gray would show either, but black is what everyone says is the hardest to get perfect, but it always looks good in the end, im still kinda deciding on what i am gonna do

not hard to get perfect if your painter knows what hes doing...now to keep perfect, thats a whole different story. there hard. Any black vehicle owner will tell you that black is beautifu when clean but a paint to keep it that way. the silver shows all the rock chips from the big mud tires.
