Might as well update the thread.
Since the last update, the truck has been dropped:
Some sub-par axle welding
And lowered
Originally done by cutting coils, but it has drop spindles and lowering springs now
And the old engine coming out! Originally I had a 350 slated to go in the truck, but I had a rebuilt 6 cylinder to go in it so why not.
Still 6 cylinder, but at least it's running good.
and swap completed. I'm running Flowtech Headers to dual 2.5" exhaust to Summit super 40 knockoffs, it sounds pretty good, if a little overkill.
