been driving my thrash fest truck for a week! you better get er done Jud!
Ryan, good info. I think I will just try it with stock booster and everything and see how it does. Theres a blacktop culdesac down the road here that nobody lives on that I can use as a little test track.

So my goal was to have driveable in 60 days and I drove around the yard on Saturday, but no brakes, no hood, and no seat. Does that count as meeting my goal? I am getting a ton done on the truck, its just that everything needs work. Really underestimated how much it needed! It will be nice when done though!
