Re: Mike D's 50 pickup build

Thanks guys, I had a vision when I bought the truck and i turned out exactly as i wanted.

I hadn't rebuilt an engine for a few years so it was good practice. LS engines are remarkable. There was no wear what so ever in the cylinder bores, still within new specs. My mind was blown. I will buy another wrecker LS eventually but will budget rebuild parts and time when I do depending where i get it from. The truck tune is a mild 375 HP and 375 ft/lbs. The truck is super light so it's got lots of jam.

With the Ridetech and TCI setup, it drives like a new vehicle and handles very well. Minimal body roll in the corners. I kept the original bench seat to keep the original look so it's pretty entertaining in corners.

I get lots of thumbs up when I drive it.
