Thanks! That crappy little vid doesn't do it any justice. I don't want to get too silly with it yet since it was just reborn but once I take it out and change the oil, wrap up all the loose ends there will be some tire fryin goin on. It winds up so fast, what a difference roller cam and lifters made. Worth the $$$. I also went .100" more valve lift .640"

I'm getting the impression that you could take your truck apart and put it back together being blind folded and your hands tied behind your back... ;D

Truck looks good

My tailgate is the original 74 tailgate that came w the truck. The stainless louvered band I can't remember where that came from but I've never seen another one.
