Man that truck is nice!!! Is under the hood as nice as the outside?

The more I see those bud rims the more I think I might need to make the swap from daytons! What are you running for gauges, the 2 small ones don't look stock at all.

I like your take on the hood vents/air intake I assume. Both sides of the hood or just the one?

Very sharp! Nice work under the hood also! It says a lot to me when someone cares about under the hood as much as they do the exterior.

What made you decide to stick with the 6.2 diesel? What's done to it or is it stock?

Very nice work, really a sharp looking truck. I especially like the 6.2 diesel, I have often though of putting a 6.5 turbo in a two ton.

Not chrome, silver base coat / clear. I finished the grill painting and painted the bumper.

A friend was pulling the 6.2 out of his 86 3+3 to do an LS swap and I had a 307 in the C50 and it seemed like a good idea to hear some Diesel noise. It really looks like it came in the truck stock. Not looking for big power it will just be a run around truck. Nothing done to it besides I pulled the heads had them cut and replaced the gaskets and head bolts while it was out of the truck just for good measure.
