Nice work! That engine looks clean. I'm building your truck's cousin. It looks real similar except it's a stepside.

Re: my '85 k10 build
 

the holley was being finnicky, so i rebuilt it today...i had a pretty bad hestiation off idle i couldnt get rid of beforehand, and this afternoon i was spinning the 35s on dry asphalt even with my whimpy gears... so i'm pretty pleased with the results :smoke:

photos are a before and after...
