I live in Nacogdoches..
The wheels are 20x8(255-35-20) and 20x10(295-45-20).
The front has belltech 3" drop spindals, ART's front component kit. (Hopefully soon ART strong arms). The back has suicidedoors c-notch, weld-up 4-link, and shock kit.. I didn't cut the bed floor at all, so thats why it doesn't lay out in the rear, but I like having a full bed floor.. The truck will drive with the front about 2" high than in the pic..:metal:

Here's a video of me running through 1st and 2nd gear short shifting at 6k rpm. I didn't want to go any higher until I get a tune and I know for sure it's making power up there. I was on a dirty gritty road so hardly no traction at first but normally those tires hook really good. This would be roughly a 1/8 mile run. I got out of it at the beginning of 3rd gear. Enjoy!

No fair - now it's in Texas.

If I were betting, I'd lay money that yours won't stay stock for too much longer. I can see the gearhead in you when I look at pics of that sweet Vette.

After seeing the C1500, I'm anxious to see what the square looks like in a year or so. Looks like a really clean starting point.

In a way its a shame to see clean originals get modified, but it looks like you know what you are doing!
Keeps us updated and build threads with lots of pictures and details are always appreciated.
Nice truck to start with.
