Is there an echo in this thread??

That's great that Kwik Performance is so close, that will make that part go real smooth if any problems come up. I like that was able to keep the compressor in the OEM location, since it keeps together the idea of looking like the General put the 5.3 there. But if I ever installed one of these and had any plans whatsoever to make it look nice, I would use Kwik Performance in a heartbeat.

Good luck on the new ride man, it looks sweet! I keep going 'round and 'round on whether to sell Fred, or paint him, or keep him AND start working on my 70. Then my son reminds me that I had talked about finding an 80's crew cab and building a SWB 4x4 crew.



I suppose I won't know until one day I wake up and just do something crazy!
