Although, the ones in the pic are the Foose Nitrous II if i'm not mistaken. The Nitrous is one piece and the Nitrous II are two piece. I like the Nitrous II because they don't have the hex heads all around the inside of the wheel. Its a cleaner looking wheel. The combo you want should give it a nice rake. Post pics when they are on the chevy. Have good one. MisterE

Hi Mister E
Make sure to take lots of picts I like to see inspirational bad ass trucks...I think I might of typed the wrong name they are the nitrous II, the same reason why I like this instead is because they dont have the hex heads all around.Man I wish I could take the weekend off and fly out to california to that truck show but with a newborn and business it is not the right time to do so, maybe next year I can plan ahead...I am planning on going to the turkey rod run in novemember here in Daytona Beach in a couple of months. The re assembling began last night one of my guys is doing the re wiring as we speak, wish me luck because I know there will be plenty of obstacles sort of speak.
Have a great one!!

Hey Big Al, I just saw the pics of your new baby boy. Congratulations to you and your family bro. Are you taking some time off work? I just returned to the classroom on Monday. I was suppose to take only one week off, but my wife fell about 2 days before our son was born and injurerd her knee. She's all right now, just a bruised bone- but walking again. Ended up staying home almost 4 weeks. Anyhow, enjoy him lots, you know better than i that they grow fast and you can't go back in time. Flo

Thank you!!!!
Mr. E,,,I really appreciate it.....

I was off for four days, then I had to get back to work. I am a fixed ops director in a toyota dealership I am woking from 10:00am to 6:00pm everyday for now so I get to spend alot of time with him in the morning and in the evening. Thank God I really dont have a schedule as I can come and go as I need to.


As far as putting the truck back together thank the lord for my asst and one of my techs, they are reassembling my truck for me as my time right now is very limited between 60 employees and my family..

I will post some picts of the reassembly.....

Well the harnesses, a/c assembly in the cab,dash harness, engine, tranny and tranny cross member are all in. We have not had much time to play with the truck as we have been so busy in the shop but here is some progress.
