Hey, what Local track were you refering to? Have you tried out the track over north of Shreveport? The one that held the Pinks all out this year?

Never too Late to be Converted, I Think your Truck Look's Pretty Good as is, It's Really Clean...........

Might Look Good to lower it a Little, Other than that i would leave as is......

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds

This is mine sitting at the house last year. I'm in Afghanistan now so it will be a while before I see it again. It has a 5.3/4L60E combo sitting in the bed right now waiting.
