1993, I drove my 1980 Formula Firebird from NJ to AL and back on a cheap vacation for a college kid. No A/C, music blasting, highway gears made the run very well. One small oil fire in in NC but put it out with a Mountain Dew. Some Gunk engine cleaner and a quarter car wash later, i was back on the road soaking up the miles. I would NEVER do that now, but back then; i was invincible!
Just put the same seat cover in my truck and LOVE the pockets in the front. Great place for the Cell Phone!
What kind of console is that? Did you get it a walmart too?

Those pockets were critical! Change, phone, phone I used as a speedometer for part of the ride, wallet, even a good water bottle holder.
The console and the cover I got from Amazon and had shipped to my buddies house. I had a bunch of stuff delivered to him in advance including a toolset since I was flying down.
I'd absolutely do this again. This is my first LS swap and if it goes well I'll probably sell my other daily drivers and maybe even my motorcycle and pick up an early 80s B or G body to do a stock 4.8 swap in for a daily driver. I drive all over the state for a living so might as well make it more awesome than my current Honda and Toyota (I'd keep the Toyota - it's my off road camper)
I was incredibly impressed with 14mpg and handling most everything I threw at the truck - I come from a Ford family and still love them but dang if this isn't going to be awesome to build. The 350 that's in it is in amazing shape so I'm not sure what I'll do with that when it's out. It's got smog heads so at the very least I'd be looking at some upgraded heads. It's an obsession now.
