tubs look real good..nice job I gotta get me a set of those plug wires like you have,need a set anyway,but really like those big ones..

what size carb did you put on it? I built an 850 DP for my 468,used the proform base plate on it,seems to work good so far..

Summit Racing has those wires, about 100 bucks I think. I bought the Holley 4150 Vacuum Secondary 750Cfm. I did some calculating for my engine size and max RPM to put me in the ball park. Runs great with this carb......

I just drove it 160 miles this weekend.....didn't do as bad on fuel as I thought it would. Right now it has 3.08 gears and 50 series tires in back which equates to about a 3.23 gear ratio I think.

Welcome back...How's your suspension coming along?

Suspension is the same, finishing up divorce issoes, then back to truck.

Divorce sucks but at least your truck won't divorce you.

Hopefully this spring I will get it done.
