Man, that sounds nasty. In a very good way.  I'd like to see pics of it in, like a jewel in a box. Nice job.

In probably around 900.

Progress to date:
I've rewired the majority of the engine wiring with the exception of the heater wiring still. I installed the AC delete box and am hiding all of the wires. I'm also putting the blower motor resistor inside the cab as opposed to in the engine compartment heater box. I have to finish my fuel lines and install the new pressure regulator and gauge. I had a VDO gauge which is the 3rd one I've had that fell apart inside. Once that stuff is all done I will post some new pix. I also had to fabricate a power steering bracket since it wasn't lining up very well. Everything looks really good and once it's all buttoned up I'm going to start hacking up my suspension. :D

What are you going to do to the suspension?  -Air ride? 

Your truck sounds REALLY good.  It is also VERY nice.  That is definitely one nice truck!!!

Thanks. I plan on narrowing the frame, 4 link...I have to save up a bit to fund the project. For now I am thinking I might try the lowering leafs in the rear or a flip. I have Belltech drop spindles in the front and lowering springs. The rear is just shackles but I'd like to drop it another 2 inches.

Well today I finished up all the wiring. I took all of the heater/ac wiring and ran it back through the firewall. I installed the blower motor resistor inside the cab and it looks so much cleaner and nicer. I painted and put the hood hinges on and took it out for it's first initial run and all I can say is HOLY CRAPOLA! It stuffed me back in my seat so hard my back cracked  ;) It just launches and pulls pulls pulls! As I was fine tuning it I started to run out of gas so I have to go make a trip for some 100 octane. I did get to leave posi strips all over the place though  ;D As soon as I get a new digital camera I will post more pix and video's. I still have to adjust the valves a little, play with the timing and put my wheel wells back in. After that I'm gonna take a little break from this puppy to fix a leak on my harley and get that thing all ready for spring before I start doing the suspension.
