NICE TRUCK.

Still gonna upgrade those wheels?

Just got me a 68 step last week needs the usual rust repair. Should take a year or so, just interior to do in my other project I am working on.

Love what you did with the interior. Im seriously considering shaving the drip rails on mine, fabing front and rear roll pans, relocating gas tank, smooth fire wall etc.

Did you end up powder coating the frame? Did not notice that pic.

Why did you go with a Maggie over a Kenne Belle? KB has alot more potential.

Well they are good for low end torque and it has a built in intercooler. It was a popular setup for my kind of needs. Also intalled heads, cam, headers and workin on a meth kit.

What year truck is that in looks like s10 or 1500

*Dylan · 05-21-2009, 09:08 PM

I vote to keep the inline six and build a low compression turbo powered straight six putting out 350-400 hp! It'd fit the uniqueness of the truck and give it that extra awesome factor.
